Infos

'Pückler's park in Muskau served as a textbook example of park design for American students through much of the twentieth century' (Gert Gröning). Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärtnerei, the main work of Pückler-Muskau and classic source of landscape design, is made available here in a reliable and beautiful edition. The text is completed by the 44 views and four maps of the Muskau park in the Atlas that accompanied the original edition of 1834.

In association with the Foundation for Landscape Studies

Translated by John Hargraves
