Sobre este artículo
London: Country Life, 1927. Second and best edition, revised. Profusely illustrated with black and white photos. Large Folio, publisher’s original green buckram, gilt decorated with pictorial designs and lettering on upper cover, lettered in gilt on spine. With a dustjacket made expressly for this copy, at a later date. x, 438, including index pp. An excellent copy, fresh and fine inside and with just light evidence of age to the binding. The jacket remains in fine condition. A HANDSOME AND WELL PRESERVED COPY OF THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK. Hussey and Jekyll created this impressive pictorial treatise dealing with "garden design in relation to architecture, and, to some extent, with architectural design in relation to gardening." Jekyll's books are highly collectible and remain among the most important of all writings in the oeuvre of the garden. This is the most famous book on the subject.
