Park Muskau, Prince Pückler’s extraordinary nineteenth-century
creation on both sides of the River Neisse, together with Hints on
Landscape Gardening (Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärtnerei), his
instructive 1834 treatise based on the park’s design,are as
important to American landscape architects as the work and writings
of Frederick Law Olmsted. This thoroughly new and authoritative
edition translated by John Hargraves, with an introduction by
landscape historian and Pückler authority Linda Parshall, contains
the same forty-four images and four maps as the original
large-format Atlas accompanying the German text. Published in
collaboration with the Foundation for Landscape Studies, the print
edition of the book shall be matched by an electronic publication
that contains the illustrations in a size corresponding with the
original dimensions (approx. 51 x 35 cm) of the Atlas. The page
concordance in the margins of the translated text allows for a
precise reference to the German original.
