First Edition, 1953. "The book's many illustrations are all taken from old prints and paintings in which each garden is seen in its prime. In a most interesting collection, the extraordinarily detailed engravings made by J. Kip and S. Knyff about 1700 are especially remarkable. If the book may be said to have a theme, it takes the form of a question: the intangible influence which gardens have had on men and women and through them on history.
