Garden Follies of Pre-Revolutionary France,
By Classicdude (River City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pleasure Pavilions and Follies in the Gardens of the Ancien Regime (Hardcover)
Bernd H. Dams researched the architectural and garden history, and Andrew Zega produced the fifty watercolors illustrating the pavilions and follies of this book which accompanied a pair of exhibitions in New York City and Paris in the mid 1990s. Each chapter is devoted to folly in chronological order and also includes period engravings and paintings, original architectural plans, and portraits of the architects and patrons. Also, there is a Visitor's Guide which lists the 18 surviving, or partially surviving, follies both public and private, and when they can be visited. This is a book that is as informative as it is beautiful -- a must for all admirers of the decorative arts of the Ancien Regime.
