A history of garden art

Gothein, Marie Luise, Wright, Walter Page [Hrsg.] · 1928 · 291 pictures

A history of garden art, a 1928 survey by Marie Luise Gothein, edited by Walter Page Wright, drawn from the Heidelberg University Library's scans for readers of garden history. The pictures are rotated engravings of formal gardens and riverside prospects, with rows of clipped trees, terraces, and small figures in the foreground; a designer could take their long horizontal layouts and dense tonal hatching as a model for panoramic site plans.
