Mawson was a highly regarded landscape architect, who "completed over two hundred dated garden commissions in England, Scotland, and Wales, with formality near to the house and informal layouts leading towards the surrounding countryside. His clients included Queen Alexandra, the maharaja of Baroda, Andrew Carnegie, and the first Viscount Leverhulme. But he was also content to make small gardens for the less well-off. His public works included Haslam Park, Preston, Hanley Park, Stoke-on-Trent, and Broomfield Park, Southgate" (ODNB).
This copy has the sheets of the fourth edition bound in the binding for the fifth edition, with "Fifth Edition" lettered on the spine, but "Fourth Edition" stated on the title page.
