"There are many Central Parks and Mireille Johnston's is one of the most beautiful of all. Her husband's sisters, Retta and Nancy Johnston, have found and photographed the same beauty and the reflection of it in people.
Mrs. Johnston, in the four movements of her text, is sensitive as only a person from faraway can be to the aura of New York City."

The book also included excerpts from the professional papers of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., designer of Central Park.
(from the Internet)
"Olmsted has been called "the founder of American landscape architecture and the nation's foremost parkmaker" by the National Park Service. Olmsted was born into a well to do family and dabbled in various professions until being appointed superintendent of Central Park during the park's design phase in 1857. With fellow designer Calvert Vaux, he designed the 843 acre park and oversaw its early development. Central Park was a tremendous success, and established the themes which are now closely associated with Olmsted, especially his use of hills, trees and curved walkways to give visitors intriguing vistas and a feeling of serene isolation from the city."
