A History of Garden Art. 2 Vols.

xxiv + 459; xv + 486 pp. Navy blue cloth with garden fountain & peacock cover vignette, gilt; gilt decorated spine repeating cover vignette; top edge gilt. With 600 b/w illustrations from photographs, engravings, paintings and garden plans. Edited by Walter P. Wright. Pencil name on front free endpapers; one interior join cracked but firm; djs chipped, nicked & slightly soiled, but they nevertheless did their job because the cloth covers remain sparklingly bright underneath. A lovely set, translated from the German by Laura Archer-Hind.
