With 38 plates, most double-page, and woodcut figures in the text. Fowler 170 (Paris 1709 edition catalogued under Le Blond, Jean Baptiste Alexandre). "This book, in which the methods of the great LeNôtre were reduced to a system, remains to this day the standard authority on the formal garden. It was written by D'Argenville the elder, under the instructions and supervision of the architect, J.B. Alexandre Le Blond, with whose designs engraved by Mariette, the book is illustrated." European Pleasure Gardens . . . from the Elizabeth K. Reilley Collection 16: "Expanded, translated, and pirated to meet the demands of a public eager to imitate French gardens, Dezallier's work appeared in sixteen editions over the next fifty years."
