Scotsman.—"'Gardens Old and New' is a pictorial and descriptive record of some of the finest gardens in England. Each is illustrated by numerous photographs, which are not only on a considerable scale, but are reproduced in a most sumptuous fashion. In each case there is a descriptive article, which tells when the house was built, what have been the fortunes of its owners, and when and how its gardens have been laid out. It is a book from which those who are fortunate in the possession of a garden may learn much of garden-craft, while those who are not thus fortunate can derive much pleasure from the contemplation of the magnificent views with which the book is adorned."
THE GARDENS OF ITALY
Being a series of illustrations, from photographs specially taken by CHARLES LATHAM, of the most famous examples of those magnificent features of garden arrangement and architecture for which Italy, pre-eminently the earliest home of the garden, is noted. The same care and fastidious selection which distinguished Mr. Latham's previous work, In English Homes, has been exercised in these volumes, and the spirit and atmosphere of the scenery have been caught with entire success. This most important work, which forms a handsome companion to In English Homes, contains about 300 plates, and is issued in two volumes, handsomely bound in cloth. £3 3s. net the Two Volumes; by post, £3 4s.
Westminster Gazette.—"The natural and artistic beauties of the famous palace or villa gardens of Italy are most admirably illustrated, and with such variety and success as must be reckoned among the triumphs of photographic work."
Globe.—"The illustrations are among the best of their kind that we have seen, especially in their rendering of distances of contrasted effects of light and shade. The grouping of architectural subjects—often an insurmountable difficulty—is managed with skill, the artist's feeling for composition enabling him frequently to make a good picture out of the material which is hardly within the photographer's customary limits."
Yorkshire Post.—"In the two handsome volumes a clear idea is given by illustrations and letterpress, of the wonderful beauty of places to which the ordinary tourist seeks admittance in vain."
