What is this? Why does it look so special? First published in 1900, 'The Art and Craft of Garden Making' is an astounding and luxurious facsimile of a rare Victorian gardening guide—bound in cloth with exquisite color illustrations. Since its initial publication, Thomas H. Mawson’s book has become the go-to guide for garden design, with multiple reprints that continue to withstand the test of time. Its chapters address numerous topics essential to successful landscape design, from “The Choice of a Site and Its Treatment” to “Flower Gardens, Beds, and Borders.” The book’s author, Thomas Hayton Mawson (1861–1933), was a British garden designer, landscape architect and town planner. He began his own landscape firm in the 1880s; he combined his botanical knowledge and eye for architectural details into unique plans for parks throughout Europe, many of which have since been restored to their former floral glory. With great attention to detail and diligent research, Mawson’s expertise is apparent throughout the book. Featuring 6 color and 544 black-and-white reproductions, this new, highly collectible edition is a facsimile of that 440-page, clothbound fifth edition of 1926—complete with gold detailing. It preserves both the beauty of the book’s original design and the encyclopedic information contained within its pages.
