American estates and gardens
A folio survey of American country houses and their grounds, written by architectural critic Barr Ferree and issued in 1904 by Munn and Company of New York for wealthy owners, architects, and the readers of Scientific American. The plates are halftone photographs: paneled interiors with inglenook fireplaces, leaded-glass cupboards and patterned rugs, plus house fronts, terraces, balustrades and clipped garden walks useful as period interior and landscape reference.
