Hogenberg, Abraham · 1655 · 28 pictures

A 1655 garden-pattern book of engraved plates by Abraham Hogenberg, issued from Europe and drawn from life for gardeners and designers, held in the Heidelberg University Library. The plates show aerial, bird's-eye views of formal parterres, hedged mazes, and palace gardens with fountains, gravel walks, and clipped geometric beds, giving a designer a dense catalogue of early modern knot and maze layouts.
