LALH AT MARSH-BILLINGS-ROCKEFELLER NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK
Thursday, July 17, 2014 | Posted by lalh
LALH is in Woodstock, Vermont, at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park this week, with landscape photographer Carol Betsch, taking photographs for the forthcoming “100 Years of Design on the Land,” an exhibition of forty-five photographs from LALH books: December 15, 2014–March 6, 2015, 1285 Gallery, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York City.
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller house and grounds.
The park encompasses the former country estate of railroad magnate Frederick Billings, designed by landscape gardener Robert Morris Copeland (1830–1874).
The estate includes a “scientific forest,” planted in 1874 according to principles laid out in Copeland’s book Country Life (1859), reprinted by LALH. Billings (1823–1890), who shared Copeland’s progressive ideas about conservation and scientific forestry, is the subject of a future LALH book in which Betsch’s photographs will appear.
