Upon the gardens of Epicurus: with other XVIIth century garden essays
This is a 1908 edition of William Temple's seventeenth-century essays on gardens, edited by Albert Forbes Sieveking, reproducing old engravings of royal palaces and hospitals. The pictures are rotated black-and-white bird's-eye views of formal gardens with clipped parterres, geometric hedges, and fountains, with engraved cartouche titles that a designer could borrow for layout ideas.
