Villas of Florence and Tuscany
Villas of Florence and Tuscany is a 1922 Philadelphia and London architectural survey by Harold Donaldson Eberlein, cataloguing country homes and their gardens in Tuscany for architects and students of domestic design. Its photographs show villa facades, cypress-lined approaches, formal gardens with clipped hedges and fountains, and sculpted terraces, most printed sideways on the page. A designer might draw on the strong axial symmetry, the cypress avenues framing doorways, and the layered garden terraces for landscape and facade composition.
