Description

"A beautiful new edition of Hermann von Pückler-Muskau's classic Hints on Landscape Gardening has just been released by Birkhäuser and the Foundation for Landscape Studies. The large-format volume includes the full set of lavish color prints originally published as a companion piece to the wry, highly opinionated text that took the landscape gardening world by storm in 1834. A remarkably insightful new translation by John Hargraves-the first since the ASLA sponsored a reprint in 1917-is immeasurably enriched by Linda B. Parshall's introduction and a nuanced preface by FLS president, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, who illuminates philosophical resonances among Pückler, Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and the great protector of Central Park, Samuel B. Parsons Jr."--
