The gardens of Italy
The Gardens of Italy is a 1905 photographic volume edited by Charles Latham and Edward Thomas March Phillipps, held by Heidelberg University Library, documenting formal Italian garden layouts for a general and design-minded readership. The pictures are sepia-toned black-and-white photographs, shown rotated on the page, of terraces, stone balustrades, clipped hedges, fountains and statuary set among trees, which a designer might draw on for symmetry, stepped levels and the placement of water and sculpture within greenery.
