London parks and gardens
A 1907 survey of London's public parks, squares and private gardens written by Mrs Evelyn Cecil and illustrated by Lady Victoria Manners, published in New York by Dutton for garden-minded general readers. Pen-and-ink sketches of balustraded terraces, gateways, clipped yews and densely hatched foliage alternate with soft watercolour plates of flower borders and strollers, offering line textures for trees and ready-made garden architecture motifs.
