Ueber den guten Geschmack bei ländlichen Kunst- und Gärten-Anlagen, und bei Verbesserung wirklicher Landschaften : durch Beispiele erläutert : aus dem Englischen

Price, Uvedale, Sir, 1747-1829 · 1798 · Leipzig : In der von Kleefeldschen Buchhandlung · 1 picture

A German translation from English of Uvedale Price's 1798 treatise on taste in landscape gardening and the improvement of real landscapes, published in Leipzig for garden designers and aesthetic theorists. The single picture is a small woodcut tailpiece: a flowering urn or vase set on a plain stone plinth, framed by trailing foliage and sprigs. A designer might take from it the idea of a vase-and-garland ornament as a compact divider or closing device.
