Boston: Heliotype Printing Co, 1891. Map. Lithograph. 11' x 17 1/2".<br/><br/> This lovely 1891 map by Frederick Law Olmstead depicts the early plan of the Charlestown Playground. Extending from the Mystic River to Cambridge and Sever Street, the map includes the plan for the proposed Men's and Women's Gymnasium at the southern end of the park. Beautifully detailed with trees, boat houses, bath houses, promenades, streets, etc. Also includes Sullivan Square. <br><br>The oldest neighborhood in Boston, Charlestown was originally a separate town before it became a city in 1848 and was annexed by Boston in 1874. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the folds and minor toning. <br><br>The map was created by the renowned Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) who also designed some of the most famous parks in the United States, including Central Park in New York City and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This is an excellent example of his work.<br/><br/>
