Philadelphia: The Commision of the Olmsted Brothers, 1913. Original wraps. Near Fine. A handsome copy of this uncommon 1913 report issued to the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania regarding further development and continued expansion of the campus. For "private circulation" and llimited to only 100 copies (this being #5). Clean and Near Fine in its charcoal-gray wrappers, with just a touch of very light wear at the spine ends. "The report is presented in five parts" and includes large fold-out maps and diagrams at the rear. The maps and diagrams cover: Part I: Past Growth and Present State of the University; Part II: A Discussion of Traffic Conditions; Part III: Suggested Developments in the Neighborhood of Woodland Ave.; Part IV: Suggested Developments along the River Front; and Part V: General Considerations. A nice piece of early 20th century University of Pennsylvania history.
