The History of Early American Landscape Design digital resource is an inquiry into the language of early American landscape aesthetics and garden design in the colonial and national periods. Thousands of texts are combined with a corpus of more than 1700 images in order to trace the development of landscape and garden terminology from British colonial America to the mid-19th century. By placing terms in relation to representations in the visual record, the project clarifies their use and meanings, providing for well-informed histories of designed landscapes in early America. | The History of Early American Landscape Design digital resource is an inquiry into the language of early American landscape aesthetics and garden design in the colonial and national periods.

This military expansion had an intellectual corollary in the artists and naturalists who attempted to map their physical world and document in text and image the astonishing variety of flora and fauna native to their new country. | |||
