PARK AND CEMETERY. 
A MONUMENT WELL SET OFF BY NATURE AND ART, 
Woodlawn Cemetery, New York City. 
P'recjuent reference has been made 
in these pages to the fact that the 
chief asset of the modern cemetery is 
landscape beauty, and cemeteries that 
issue illustrated books should express 
as much as possible of this beauty in 
their printed literature. 
Some excellent specimens of these 
cemetery books have been noted in 
these pages, and we show here two of 
the illustrations from the annual book 
issued by Woodlawn Cemetery, New 
York City, which is the finest speci- 
men of printing and illustrating ever 
issued by a cemetery, and among the 
finest ever issued to promote any 
business. The cuts as shown here 
give but a faint idea of the beauty of 
the book, as the color effects of ink 
and paper of the original cannot, of 
course, be reproduced. These views 
WOODLAWN, NEW YORK CITY’S MODER 
are from the 1908 book. Two from 
this year’s book will be shown next 
]nonth. 
Woodlawn was laid out in 1864, and 
the first interment was on January 
14, 1865. There are now 74.916 in- 
terments, and about half of the 400 
acres included in the grounds is still 
unoccupied. 
Many of New York’s pioneers and 
wealthiest citizens have lots in Wood- 
lawn, and no effort of modern care 
has been overlooked that will add to 
the beautiy of the grounds or the at- 
tention to the many elaborate tombs 
and memorials. 
The cemetery provides a shelter 
tent, matting and chairs at the time 
of interment, for the comfort of the 
lot owners and those attending, with- 
out any extra charge.
