1839 · 141 pictures

A French garden design treatise of 1839 from the Heidelberg University Library, arranged as numbered plates of garden buildings and plans meant for landscape gardeners and garden owners. The plates show pavilions, tents, cabanes, a Roman-style pergola, and a plan for a rotunda with a central columned room, drawn as engraved elevations, sections, and floor plans. A designer can take from them the clear layout of garden follies, with simple engraved shading that suits plan and elevation diagrams.
