Discovery Editions' Central Park Collection begins before the completion of this greatest urban park. Our Perfect Recreation™ of the Olmsted & Vaux Map of Central Park showing the progress of the Work up to January 1, 1865 is a fascinating look at this 843-acre masterpiece-in-the-making. John Bachman's 1859 birds-eye view of Central Park imagines the completed oasis on the basis of the architectural and landscape drawings.

We complete our collection with Perfect Recreations™ of several extraordinary paintings of indigenous flora and fauna much loved by Central Parkgoers. Jacques LeMoyne's c. 1570 original watercolor of the Wild Daffodil, or Narcissus, is a charming example of the early Spring bloomer that blankets patches of the Park. Audubon's masterpiece of the Common American Swan evokes the majestic birds that glide across the Park's ponds and lakes. And the Audubon Red-tailed Hawk has special meaning for New Yorkers who follow the exploits of the resident couple, Lola and Pale Male, as they soar above the Conservatory Water.
