Three of the illustrations in the Plan are based on drawings by Bennett, and one on a watercolor by Burnham, who also probably took some of the photographs that were used. This watercolor, reproduced in Charles Moore's biography of Burnham, was likely painted in 1896, when Burnham was first thinking about a lakeshore parkway. It is the basis of plate L(a) in the Plan .
