This is a vintage, hand-colored map or survey of a parterre garden from the James Gordon Bennett Estate, as indicated by the text on the lower right. The garden is viewed from above, showcasing a complex geometric pattern. The central feature is a large, circular design composed of multiple leaf-shaped sections, each filled with a vibrant floral pattern. These sections radiate outwards from the center, creating a star-like effect. The colors within the floral sections are a mix of greens, reds, and yellows, suggesting a variety of plants. Surrounding the central circle is a series of interconnected, diamond-shaped beds filled with greenery. These beds are bordered by a lighter-colored path. Beyond the diamond beds, the garden extends with a repeating pattern of green rectangles and circular patches, interspersed with small evergreen trees. The overall style is reminiscent of a formal, European garden design. The map is aged, with a slightly yellowed paper and delicate watercolor coloring. A scale is present at the bottom, indicating measurements in feet. The text at the bottom right reads: 'PARTERRE FROM THE JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESTATE THE BLACKWELL SURVEY'.
