Traité de la composition et de l'ornement des jardins

Boitard, Pierre · 1825 · Audot · 73 pictures

A French garden-design treatise by Pierre Boitard, published by Audot in Paris in 1825, written for landscape gardeners and garden owners. Its plates show garden structures in engraved outline: a pavilion among trees, tents with their poles and canvas, gates and barriers in carpentry, and cabins and rustic huts with thatched or latticed walls. Designers can draw on these plates for early nineteenth-century garden architecture, with clear plan and elevation views of simple wooden and tented structures.
