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. ⁠ ⁠ Published by @bokforlagetstolpe⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ #artandcraftofgardenmaking #gardening #englishgardening #facsimileedition #thomashmawson #gardendesign #britishgardendesign #botanical⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CcTZVr2ppg5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy to see that 3 of our favorite 2021 books are included in Indulge magazine's Books & Vinyl recommendations this month.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ LED ZEPPELIN VINYL: The Essential Collection By @rosshalfin @reelartpress "Vinyl has stormed back from a slumber, and what better way to celebrate the repertoire of the legendary band than to take a journey through their albums? Featured here are more than 300 of some of the most unique and interesting variations of the artwork and colored vinyl, including regional variations and rarities as documented by Halfin, a veteran music industry photographer. Mind boggling when you consider that Led Zeppelin released only 8 studio albums and no singles during the span of their 12-year career."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ DAMIEN HIRST: CHERRY BLOSSOMS @fondationcartier "This large-format presentation of @damienhirst cherry blossoms features full color versions of 107 new works and 18 gatefold spreads to treat you to the spectacular, and what the artist has somewhat self-deprecatingly described as his 'garish, messy and fragile' flowers. Paintings like 'Wonderful World Blossom' and diptychs like 'Renewal Blossom' are presented in all their elating bursts of glory, but we also love photographs of Hirst’s studio and his accoutrements, which are no less mesmerizing, and the accompanying 4 unbiased essays from art critics."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ THE ART & CRAFT OF GARDEN MAKING By Thomas H. Mawson & E. Prentice Mawson @bokforlagetstolpe British garden designer, landscape architect and town planner, Thomas H. Mawson’s classic go-to guide for gardening from 1900 has been lovingly reproduced in this luxurious facsimile bound in cloth, gold detailing and edenic color illustrations. Not just a stunning art piece in itself, the book is also a timeless and invaluable tool for professionals and hobbyists, addressing numerous concerns like 'The Choice of a Site and Its Treatment' and 'Flower Gardens, Beds, and Borders.'⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #ledzeppelinvinyl #damienhirst #damienhirstcherryblossoms #artandcraftofgardenmaking #victoriangardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CUu2RkGs_HT/?utm_medium=tumblr
