About the book >.>.> Gandens for Snail Country Houses was fint publisited by Country Life in 1912. The original edition with its black and white illustrations takes us back to that diresun time at the very end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the ewentieth when the Aers and Cuifs Nizwement had evolved in country house anchitecture ansl then found its most delightful expression in the making of gurdens This new edition re-died Ars and Cufs Garters to distinguish it from the original besek takes abcntage of modern colleur regrestacion and colour printing technolings. Whilst we camer go back in time to re-ake the original photographs we can at least saveur in this edison a little of what might have been had these techniques then been available. Colour photographs of Arts and Crafts gardens and houses as they are today together with reproductions of contemporary paintings and watercolours complement the original black and white photographs and bring new colour and light to a now vanished world. Lawrence Weaver was an architect who acted as Architectural Editor at Country Life. His better known collaborator on this book Gertrude Jekyll requires little introduction. She too was a contributor to Country Life which also became the principal publisher of her books. By: 1912 she was an established and influential ganden designer as well as author of many books. In their. collaboration on this book the authors found common ground and revelled in their mutual intuitive approach to artistic and historic gardening ideas. (MP)
