WASHINGTON PARK, ALBANY, N. Y. 
That there is something in diversity of scenery 
to enhance the recreative and exhilarating effects of 
a well developed and carefully maintained park, 
a study of the above group of views will surely 
demonstrate. It will further prove that the reputa- 
tion of Washington Park, Albany, N. Y. , is well 
deserved. All persons visiting Albany carry away 
lasting impressions of its splendid park features, 
impressions that lead to expression, with the result 
that its Washington Park has become known far 
and wide as a worthy example of American park 
practice, wherein landscape art in connection with 
the requirements for the higher recreation of the 
people, have been developed to a degree affording 
general satisfaction, and leaving little to be desired 
other than the continued improvement which 
constant care under careful superintendence will 
assure. 
We are indebted to the members of the Albany 
Camera Club, through the courtesy of Dr. Frank 
W. Cady, for thirteen views of the park, all excellent 
examples of the photographic art, from which the 
above were selected. The club may be congratu- 
lated upon the magnificent field it possesses in 
Washington Park for the practice of the art of pho- 
tography. Landscape art never more assuredly as- 
serts itself than when it remains impressive under 
all conditions of time and season, and to this end the 
landscape designer will more and more devote him- 
self, seeing the wealth of material that he has at 
hand, and that in a general sense he is unhampered 
by precedent or rule other than the broad limits 
which Nature herself sets with undeviating hand.
