Frederick Law Olmsted poses for a portrait around 1860. A New England native, Olmsted traveled through the South from 1852 to 1854, visiting Georgia twice during that time. He returned to the state in the 1890s to consult with the Cotton States Exposition Commission and to design Druid Hills, a suburban development in Atlanta.
