Carmontelle's landmark publication, Garden at Monceau, beautifully
reproduced to show the Parisian garden's artistic and cultural
importance before the French Revolution. Originally published in
1779, Garden at Monceau is a richly illustrated presentation of the
garden Louis Carrogis, known as Carmontelle, designed on the eve of
the French Revolution for Louis-Philippe-Joseph d'Orleans, duc de
Chartres. With its array of architectural follies intended to
surprise and amaze the visitor, the garden was a setting for ancien
regime social life. Carmontelle's portrayal of his work in Garden
at Monceau therefore serves as an expression of a key moment in the
history of European landscape design, garden architecture, and
social history. This facsimile edition, with its English-language
text and reproductions of the original engravings, is accompanied
by essays that interpret the landscape design and examine
Carmontelle's larger career as a painter and theater producer.
