Plans de jardins dans le goût anglais & instructions dans l'art de distribuer & planter de petits terrains

Mansa, Johan Ludwig, Angelo, G. N · 1798 · à Copenhague : Chés Frideric Brummer · 16 pictures

A late eighteenth-century French-language gardening manual published in Copenhagen in 1798 by Johan Ludwig Mansa with G. N. Angelo, giving instructions for laying out small plots in the English landscape style. Its pictures are plain hand-drawn ground plans in pale green wash with stippled, scalloped tree masses and winding paths and lakes, showing how irregular curves and clumps of planting can organise a site, a useful reference for loose organic shapes and boundary planning.
