Hortvs Palatinvs: A Friderico Rege Boemiae Electore Palatino Heidelbergae Exstructus
Hortvs Palatinvs is a 1620 garden book by Salomon de Caus, engraved and printed in Heidelberg to record the garden built there for Frederick, Elector Palatine and King of Bohemia. Its pictures are precise engraved plates of parterres, knot-work panels, a ground plan and garden elevations with scattered tiny figures and trees, offering a designer clear models for geometric scrollwork patterns and formal garden layout.
