Stately homes of California
A survey of large private houses and their grounds in California, written by Porter Garnett and published by Little, Brown in Boston in 1915 for readers interested in domestic architecture and garden design. The plates are colour-tinted photographs with warm amber and olive casts: curving drives, flower borders, palms, long water channels, and stuccoed villas against dry hills, useful for period colour palettes and landscape composition.
