Practical hints upon landscape gardening : with some remarks on domestic architecture, as connected with scenery
William Sawrey Gilpin's 1832 treatise Practical Hints upon Landscape Gardening, printed in London for T. Cadell and W. Blackwood of Edinburgh, offers advice to garden makers on laying out grounds and relating houses to scenery. Its plates are engraved landscape views of trees, clumps, lawns and distant buildings, shown here rotated sideways on the page, and a designer can take from them a sense of how masses of foliage, open ground and a few structures balance in a picturesque composition.
