Nowhere is there 
more varied 
more constant 
portunity for 
exercise of the 
landscape art 
hiding things 
or 
op- 
the 
fine 
of 
than 
in the modern cem- 
etery, and in no 
cemeteries has this 
art been more suc- 
cessfully practiced 
than in Woodlawn 
in New York, and 
in Allegheny in 
Pittsburg. We 
showed last month 
some examples of 
landscape pictures 
from Allegheny 
Cemetery that il- 
lustrated the skil- 
ful development of 
landscape pictures 
and the setting off 
of tall monuments. 
The pictures 
shown here are 
from the Allegheny 
Cemetery book and 
the book just is- 
sued by Woodlawn 
Cemetery, of New 
York, from which 
we have shown 
some fine exam- 
ples in other years. 
This year’s book 
has been divided in- 
to two sections, to 
vary its present- 
ment of pictorial effects, by the illus- 
tration of some photogravures. The 
photogravure book is smaller than its 
companion brochure showing the 
half tones and the pictures have been 
selected with care, and a discriminat- 
ing eye to their appropriate render- 
ing in the soft, delicate, effects for 
which this form of illustration is par- 
ticularly fitted. Both books are exe- 
cuted in the same high qualities of 
illustration and original typographic 
effects as previous issues, which have 
been noticed in these pages. 
LANDSCAPE PICTURE IN WOODLAWN CEMETERY, NEW YORK. 
The pictures selected this month, 
are chosen particularly to illustrate 
the difficult problem of giving land- 
scape setting to mausoleums. The 
planting of a large lot containing a 
mausoleum is a landscape problem of 
no mean proportions. It involves the 
designing of a scheme of planting and 
lay out of scarcely less importance 
than that of planning for the sur- 
roundings of a residence, with its ac- 
companying lawn. The problem in 
the case of the mausoleum is addi- 
tionally complicated by the necessity 
of considering not only the lot itself 
but its relation to all of that portion 
of the cemetery in its immediate vi- 
cinity. The task of blending the gen- 
erally sharp and severely classic 
lines of the structure with an infor- 
mal landscape demands the highest 
skill of the landscape gardener in the 
selection of trees and shrubs and in 
their placing and care. How success- 
fully such structures may be made a 
part of the landscape picture is ad- 
mirably illustrated in the three pic- 
tures shown here.
