Sobre este artículo
Boston: Merrymount Press, no date [1904]. First edition. Octavo (9" x 5.75"), [6], 22, & [4] pages plus two photogravure plates, the title page, designed by T.M. Cleland, printed in black ink within an elaborate ornamental border in green depicting vines on a trellis surmounting a fountain. Publisher's brown paper over boards backed in gilt-lettered black cloth.
Binding moderately soiled, edges rubbed, corners bruised, roughly opened at title page causing a couple of nicks, occasional handling marks within, otherwise good or better.
A beautifully printed & relatively early example of the work of this important small fine press. Presents articles on gardening reprinted from various sources.
"Our florists give nature lessons in floriculture, and our landscape gardeners teach nature the fine art of irreproachable lines; but somehow, in spite of the composite flowers of scientific development, and the classic gardens of man's genius, the charm of nature in her sequestered haunts, in her simpler floral forms, in her rich vegetation of emerald green, and in her masses of landscape composition compels our recognition of the consummate artistry of an artist greater than man." ~G.B.W.
