Background:
These prints are from the First Edition of a guide to the layout of Parks and Gardens in
and around Paris. The illustrations are by Victor Petit (1820?-1874) who also
produced a number of other fine illustrated books on architecture and architectural
history.
The prints depict the layout of each Park or
Garden including walkways, placement of flowerbeds, shrubs and trees, and topographical
details. The work also included information on constructing structures which would
ornament the garden including pavilions, chalets, bridges and kiosks.
