Garden Ornament
Country Life, 1927.
First edition thus, revised and enlarged. Second edition overall. Folio. Quarter green buckram over green cloth, with gilt titles to the spine. Profusely illustrated with photographs of topiary, sundials, pergolas, bridges, garden ornaments, water gardens, lakes etc. A fine copy.
A wonderful book on the uses of garden ornament, reminding the reader of the importance of scale and importance of positioning. Featuring mainly gardens of stately homes, such as Cliveden House, the book offers practical advice that can be transferred to smaller garden design.
"A word on this revised edition of Garden Ornament. The original work has for sometime been out of print, and this edition is to all intents and purposes a new book. The sectional prefaces have been entirely rewritten, fresh sections have been inserted... about fifty percent of the illustrations are fresh." (preface)
