The Formal Garden in England is a comprehensive guide to the history and design of formal gardens in England, written by Reginald Blomfield and first published in 1901. The book explores the development of formal gardens from the Tudor period through to the late 19th century, examining the different styles and techniques used by garden designers and architects over the centuries.Blomfield draws on a wide range of sources, including historical records, contemporary accounts, and his own experience as a landscape architect, to provide a detailed and insightful analysis of the formal garden. He discusses the various elements that make up a formal garden, including paths, terraces, parterres, fountains, and statues, and explains how these features were used to create different effects and moods.The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs, many of which were taken by Blomfield himself, showing examples of formal gardens from across England. These images provide a visual record of the different styles and designs of formal gardens, from the grandeur of the Baroque to the simplicity of the Arts and Crafts movement.Overall, The Formal Garden in England is an important work of garden history and design, providing a fascinating insight into the development of one of England's most enduring and iconic landscape features.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
