The collection comprises eighty-eight black & white photographs, many dated (1912-1917) and annotated, housed in one volume. The volume appears to be a report prepared by the Bronx Parkway Commission (the commission's name appears on the title page). The text of the report describes the photographs as "show[ing] the conditions which existed before the lands were acquired, in contrast to the appearance of the same lands after they had been treated and restored by the Commission."

Individual holding records for this collection are available on the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website.
