Seller's Description:
Very Good in Fine jacket. Size: 8x1x10; The Gardens Of Ellen Biddle Shipman tells the story of a remarkable woman who contributed much to the development of landscape design in America. Hailed as the "dean of American women landscape architects", Ellen Shipman designed over 650 gardens between 1914 and 1946. Her commissions spanned the United States from the state of Washington to Ohio and Maine, and from Long Island's Gold Coast down to Louisiana. Her clients included Fords, Astors, du Ponts, and other captains of industry and patrons of the arts, yet she held an emphatically democratic view of her profession and stated: "Gardening opens a wider door than any other of the arts-all mankind can walk through, rich or poor, high or low, talented and untalented. It has no distinctions, all are welcome.
