O'MALLEY, THERESE / WOLSCHKE-BULMAHN, JOACHIM, ed. . John Evelyn's "Elysium Britannicum" and European gardening edited by Therese O'Malley and Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn. Washington, D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, 1998, vii, 310pp., . Many black and white illustrations. - Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture, 17. - "John Evelyn (1620-1706), an English virtuoso and writer, was a pivotal figure in seventeenth-century intellectual life in England. He left an immensely rich literary heritage, which is of great significance for scholars interested in garden history and the histories of intellectual life and architecture." "Evelyn is perhaps best known for Sylva, a compilation of thoughts on practical estate management, gardening, and philosophy, and the first book published by the Royal Society in London. "Elysium Britannicum," Evelyn's unpublished manuscript of almost a thousand pages of densely packed drafts, rewrites, and projects, was perhaps something of an enigma to his contemporaries, who nevertheless urged its publication." "The contributors to this volume approach Evelyn and his work from diverse disciplines, including architectural and intellectual history and the histories of science, agriculture, gardens, and literature. They present a rich picture of the "Elysium Britannicum" as one of the central documents of late European humanism." - CONTENTS: Foreword / Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn -- Introduction to John Evelyn and the "Elysium Britannicum" / Therese O'Malley -- John Evelyn's "Elysium Britannicum" : provenance, condition, transcription / John E.

Zustand: as new. Washington : National Gallery of Art, 2015. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xii, 333 pp. illustrations (some color), maps ; 29 cm. (Studies in the history of art (Washington, D.C.), 78; Studies in the history of art (Washington, D.C.)., Symposium papers, 55 ). -- In the period from 1890 to 1940, landscape architects organized as a profession distinct from art and architecture, bringing to the fore a variety of theories and aspirations to influence urban growth, reinforce national identity, and shape land conservation and land-use planning, among other goals in response to challenges posed by rapid change. The twelve essays included in this exceptional volume grapple with the definition and significance of modernism in landscape design during this transformative era. An international roster of leading landscape historians discuss established and less recognized designers, such as Maria Teresa Parpagliolo, who sought to define the modern Italian garden, or Benito Javier Carrasco, who made recreational green space a public amenity in Buenos Aires.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 4to (28.5 cm), 279 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear, bookplate). "Making knowledge visible" is how one 16th-century naturalist described the work of the illustrator of botanical treatises. Presenting images found throughout Europe in works on natural history, medicine, botany, horticulture, and garden design, and studies of insects, birds, and animals, the contributors emphasize their artistic as well as scientific values. Illustrators are shown to have been both artists and either naturalists or gardeners, bringing to their work aesthetic judgment and empirical observation. Their fascinating images receive a fresh, wide-ranging analysis that covers such topics as innovation, patronage, readership, reception, technologies of production, and the relationship between the fine arts and scientific depictions of nature.
