Olmstead Sr., Beatrix Farrand and Fletcher Steele. Mattor, a Maine landscape designer, teams with Teegarden, a Maine-based writer and editor, to showcase landscapes that were surveyed over a

Augusta's Blaine Memorial Park, South Berwick's Hamilton House and the campus of the U. of Maine at Orono. Oversize: 10.25x10.25". Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
