Gardens of Court and Country
Gardens of Court and Country provides the first comprehensive overview of the development of the English formal garden from 1630 to 1730.

This handsome volume includes 300 illustrations - including plans, engravings, and paintings - that bring lost and forgotten gardens back to life.
