Beiträge zur schönen Gartenkunst
A German garden-art treatise by Friedrich Casimir Medicus, published in 1782 and drawn from Heidelberg University Library's holdings, written for garden designers and landscape enthusiasts. The single picture is a black-and-white engraved view of a weeping willow framing a small pavilion or garden structure beside water, with a second building visible beyond; a designer might take from it the way drooping foliage can frame and screen a focal point, creating depth and enclosure.
