Product Description

Product Description

In 1901, Thomas Mawson (1861-1933) first published 'The Art and Craft of Garden Making', now regarded as the foundation of modern landscape architecture. By 1926, it had been reprinted five times. It is this book which revealed Mawson's inspiration and gave a name to the style of work achieved by Edwin Lutyens & Gertrude Jekyll. Thomas Mawson was a prolific & influential designer who became the first president of the Institute of Landscape Architects (now Landscape Institute) in 1929. His design practice based in Windermere, in the English Lake District, prospered owing both to a wealthy clientele - brought to the area by the railway network - and to his obvious talent for design which blended architecture and horticulture. Thomas's prolific and successful career included commissions on Graythwaite Hall, Langdale Chase, Holehird, Brockhole, Holker Hall and at Rydal Hall in 1909. He also had a considerable number of projects abroad including in Canada, America and mainland Europe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible reproduction of a great book, 7 Jun 2009
By Carlo Cristofori - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a photocopy or similar reproduction, and the quality of the reproduction is so bad that not only the illustrations are so dark as to be sometimes almost uniformly black, but the text is frequently unreadable as well. Waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars POOR QUALITY PRINTING, 29 Jun 2009
Apparently a photocopy of another edition the text is so poorly reproduced it is almost unreadable and the illustrations are so black you can barely make out what they show. An expensive mistake, don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing but . . . ., 29 Jul 2009
By C. Mawson "Eye_Bookshop" (Eye, Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with other reviewers that the quality of these 'digital' print-on-demand-type titles is pretty poor. The question is this. Do you want to pay upwards of £150 for an original edition of 'The Art & Craft . . ' or settle for something undoubtedly inferior, but evidently cheaper. The choice is yours . . .
