Unfortunately not available in a larger size, this image from a Peuser photobook published in 1921 shows abundant landscaping —and few people!— in the area just outside the main entrance gate.
Thanks to J. Simón Tagtachian for posting this in his blog Ciencia y Fe.

Unfortunately I failed to document the exact location of these two panels. But after discovering them in my archives, I thought they were too beautiful not to share… both images taken on 29 Mar 2011.
