Combining superb research and writing with breathtaking photographs, this expanded and updated edition of Seeing Central Park is not only an authoritative visual survey of New York City’s famous landscape, but also a gorgeous gift book.
For more than 160 years, Central Park has been the centerpiece of New York City, with more than 42 million visits each year. In Seeing Central Park, photographer and historian Sara Cedar Miller takes readers through America’s most popular and celebrated park, where natural and manmade features are interwoven into a spectacular work of art.
Since the book’s first publication, the Conservancy has completed a number of renovations and opened new areas of the park, including the Hallett Nature Sanctuary, Rhododendron Mile, and Dene Slope. This updated edition features these landmarks alongside revised entries and photography throughout. With its pastoral and picturesque landscapes, roads and paths, bridges, buildings, structures, and sculpture, Central Park is a living museum of superb Victorian decorative arts and landscape design. From the Pond to Harlem Meer, it’s all covered in Seeing Central Park.

Title: Beautifully Captures the Park
Review: It has been difficult to find a book that visually captures the entire park. So far, this is the best I have found. The photography is beautiful. It also has the history of the park.

Title: Lovely photos!
Review: The cover photo is a gorgeous example of what lies within the book, as all of the photos are really lovely and they were taken in all four seasons. There are also a few old photos in black-and-white, and they're charming.

Review: This substantial book, updated in 2020, is both a useful guide to Central Park and a superb souvenir.The following strongpoints should be underscored :⢠The straightforward text conveys much information without ever being pedantic.⢠Photos are abundant, high quality and illustrative of the four seasons.⢠Maps are synthetic and clear, including that on the reverse of the jacket.⢠The bookâs square format makes it compact enough to carry with you but sufficiently large for photos and maps to come out clearly.Anyone interested in Central Park and New York in general will be fascinated by this book, even if not planning a visit shortly.
