Grundsätze der Gartenkunst, welche sowohl bei Anlegung großer Parks, oder bei Landschafts- und Naturgärten von großer Ausdehnung, als auch bei Einrichtung und Anlage kleinerer Gärten befolgt werden müssen: ein praktisches Handbuch

Huth, Friedrich · 1829 · 7 pictures

A German garden-design handbook by Friedrich Huth, published in 1829 and drawn from the Heidelberg University Library, written as a practical guide for laying out large landscape parks as well as smaller gardens. Its plates are measured architectural drawings of garden structures, showing elevations and plans of a small temple, a cabinet pavilion, a stone-block tomb-like monument with urns, and an iron gate between stone piers. A designer might borrow their clean, proportioned line work and the scaled plan-and-elevation pairing as a model for diagrammatic garden furniture.
