Vier und zwantzig Gärten-Grund-risse
A set of twenty-four garden ground plans published in Augsburg in 1740 by Franz Anton Danreiter, engraved for garden designers and landscape planners working in the German-speaking courtly tradition. The plates are plain black-and-white engravings showing symmetrical parterres, bosquets and paths laid out as bird's-eye maps, with dense hatched shading for hedges and clipped greenery. A designer might take from them the layout logic of axial symmetry, scrolled cartouche-like parterre beds, and radiating allées arranged within bounded geometric compartments.
