Synopsis Originally published in 1894, this book popularized the concept of the garden as a series of outdoor rooms connecting the house with the landscape. This firsthand account by Charles A. Platt is accompanied by the elegant duotone photographs he took on his Italian tour, plus the original photographs from the first edition. An illustrated essay by Keith Morgan places the book in the context of American landscape design history.
