Frances Lincoln, 2005. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Illustrated with the author's own photographs, taken at all seasons of the year, this comprehensive account of Russian parks and gardens encompasses all historical periods. He waxes particularly lyrical about the golden age of park-building from the time of Peter the Great through Catherine II to the era of Alexander, when monumental parks and sublime water features were carved from the landscape by thousands of serfs directed by a succession of mainly Scottish designers. The author's command of the Russian literature and deep appreciation of the subject sets this work above the routine accounts previously published, which combined with the high production standards associated with Frances Lincoln makes for a thoroughly satisfying read. 256 pp., copiously illustrated with photographs (mainly in colour) and text figures.
