Another new release from Levellers Press, “World’s End: A Panoramic Tour of a Frederick Law Olmsted Classic,” by Mark Roessler, takes a look at a different kind of history: a property south of Boston that the famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted created for a proposed Victorian housing development that never came to pass. Today it’s preserved as a park named World’s End and maintained by the Massachusetts conservation group The Trustees of Reservations.

The 400-acre property, on a narrow peninsular in Hingham, features old carriage roads and trails that range over gentle hills, through woods, and across fields before bringing visitors down to salt marshes and rocky sections of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean. Views extend in places to Boston and to the town of Hull, among others.

In his coffee-table style book, “World’s End,” Valley photographer, writer, and graphic designer Mark Roessler offers a rich photographic tour of the property, with many panoramic images that span two pages. Roessler has also photographed in all four seasons, and in some cases he offers views of the same landscapes, such as a point called Planter’s Hill, in winter and summer.

Aside from capturing this unusual pastoral setting so close to Boston, Roessler’s book includes maps and background information on Olmsted’s work, including his design of World’s End, and the designer’s own photographic record of his creations. “It is clear to me that Frederick Law Olmsted thought in three hundred sixty degrees,” he writes. “I’d like to think my efforts here are an extension of that work.”

Roessler also notes that World’s End was once considered as a possible home for the United Nations building — and in 1967 as a site for a nuclear power plant. Thankfully, he notes, the property was preserved, and unlike many of Olmsted’s landscape projects, this one remains mostly unchanged from its initial design.

“Its beauty is resilient,” he writes. “Olmsted recognized that. His master stroke was only enhancing what was there.”
