Theorie der Gartenkunst
Theorie der Gartenkunst is a German treatise on garden art by Christian Cay Lorenz Hirschfeld, published in 1782 and held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at garden theorists and designers of the period. Its plates show garden architecture in elevation and plan: a classical facade with balustraded terrace, a colonnaded garden gateway set among trees, a domed pavilion with a rounded niche door, and a two-storey palace front with a pedimented centre, all drawn in plain line with no shading beyond hatching, useful for designers studying proportion and the structures of landscape garden settings.
