Designs for the garden from the collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects, 1609 to the present day

Resource verified by SHCG editorial group

Publisher: Rizzoli International Publications 1989

ISBN: 978-0847810895

Notes:

"This handsome volume contains 269 reproductions of designs for gardens in the Drawings Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In Britain, gardening and architecture have been so intimately connected from the sixteenth century onwards that although not every major garden designer is represented...the book offers a representative selection of British garden architects from the Smythsons in the early seventeenth century to Geoffrey Jellicoe in the late twentieth...The standard of reproduction of the coloured drawings is excellent, and most of the plans are reproduced to a sufficiently large scale for at least the principal annotations to be legible." Review, The Journal of Garden History, vol 11, 1991
