Geschichte der Gartenkunst: Von Ägypten bis zur Renaissance in Italien, Spanien und Portugal
A German-language history of garden art by Marie Luise Gothein, published in 1914 and drawn from Heidelberg University Library, covering gardens from ancient Egypt through the Renaissance in Italy, Spain and Portugal. The photographs are reproduced sideways and show formal garden layouts with colonnades, clipped hedges, fountains, stone terraces and tree-lined vistas, offering a designer a clear reference for axial planning, symmetrical parterres and the placement of water and architecture within a garden.
