Book Description

Dealer Notes

This work is an expansion on the author’s 1850 How to Lay Out a Small Garden.
Kemp, superintendent of Birkenhead Park (the world’s first publicly funded park), was an influential designer of both public and private parks and gardens across the UK. This beautiful book, with its gilt decoration and edges, its extensive illustrations and abundance of useful information, is a must for anyone interested in the history of garden design.
