Sobre este artículo
Herrin, IL: The Trovillion Private Press, 1948. Limited Edition. Small Octavo. 53 (4) pp. illustrated. Limited to 997 copies, the present copy is #310 signed by Violet Trovillion. Originally published in 1617. For a full century after its appearance in 1617, Lawson's book held the field unopposed as the first women's gardening book. In 1716, almost one hundred years later, Charles Evelyn published his Lady's Recreation. Nearly another century and a half before there appeared what might be classed as the first modern treatise written for women gardeners when Mrs. Jane Webb Louden published her Gardening for Ladies. Lawson's pioneering work remains the most attractive and to this day has destroyed none of its pleasant charms. Bound in brown cloth lettered and stamped in gilt, spine lettering gilt, blue endpapers decoratively stamped in brown. Near fine.
