English Pleasure Gardens is a book written by Rose Standish Nichols. This book is a comprehensive guide to the history of English gardens and their evolution from the 16th century to the present day. It covers the various styles of English gardens, including the formal, the landscape, the cottage, and the wild garden. The book also highlights the role of garden designers, such as Capability Brown and Gertrude Jekyll, in shaping the English garden's identity. Nichols provides detailed descriptions of famous gardens, such as Kew Gardens, Stourhead, and Hidcote Manor, and discusses the cultural and social context in which they were created. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, paintings, and drawings that showcase the beauty and diversity of English gardens. It is an essential read for anyone interested in garden history, landscape design, or English culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
