The stone bridge spanning the pond in Boston's Public Gardens is one of the features that sets this scene apart from the gardens' more famous statues and flower beds. The Public Gardens were laid out in the 1860s on land that had been reclaimed from the Charles River's tidal flats, and the park's winding lagoon and arched crossings were designed to give city walkers a picturesque, rural-style retreat. Weeping willows, drooping over the water, were a favored tree of nineteenth-century landscape design and remain one of the park's signature features. The scene shows how the gardens were meant to feel: quiet, shaded and separate from the busy streets nearby.
