Lehrbuch der schönen Gartenkunst: mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die praktische Ausführung von Gärten und Parkanlagen
A German textbook on garden art, edited by Gustav Meyer and published in 1873 for practical garden and park construction, drawn from the Heidelberg University Library collection. Its pictures are engraved plans of formal parterres with clipped tree rows, a curving naturalistic park path layout above a palace facade, and a close study of clustered tree masses, offering a designer clear models for geometric versus picturesque planting patterns and for reading layouts as plans.
