This book attempts to recover a measure of that sense and that landscape, as well as the activities that endowed...

ISBN: 9781108061407 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1892, this work by the architect Reginald Theodore Blomfield (1856 1942), illustrated by Francis Inigo Thomas (1865 1950), uses historical evidence to vindicate a classical approach to garden design, in which a house and its surroundings are kept in harmony.
