Seller's Description:
Fine. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. 216 pages, illustrated in color and b&w. "This is the first book to trace fully he architectural development of the glass house. The story begins with the slow filtration northwards from Italy of citrus trees and their simple shelters in Renaissance days, through more sophisticated Dutch examples, to the splendour of Louis XIV's organgerie at Versailles. It shows how, as the architecture of Wren and Vanbrugh gave way to classicism, the Georgian greenhouses of Burlington and Robert Adam became temples in the landscaped park, while tropical fruit and flowers flourished in hot-houses in the kitchen garden. This richly and diversely illustrated book weaves a vivid tapestry of architectural, botanical and social history." FINE SOFTCOVER.
