A history of gardening in England
A History of Gardening in England, written by Evelyn Cecil and published in 1896, is a general history of English gardens drawn from the Heidelberg University Library copy. The pictures are monochrome engravings of country houses, their grounds, and wrought-iron garden gates, with the rotated plates showing how old estate views were reproduced; a designer might take from them the formal layouts of clipped yew, gravel walks, and ornate ironwork as period garden motifs.
