Anmeldelser
A lovely book that illustrates Edith Wharton's life, as well as her interests and skills in house and garden design. I visited The Mount in 2013 and bought the book mainly because of the photographs. It's sad that her circumstances did not allow her to live here for more than a few years.
A well-written and beautifully-illustrated book about the development of Jefferson's plans for the Grounds of what would become the University of Virginia. Included as well is a very interesting essay on the changing meanings and uses of the Lawn since Jefferson's time.
Book accompanying the Brooklyn Museum 1986 exhibition. Complete and Beautiful, this covers the Machine Age and Depression Moderne perfectly.
