For centuries artists and designers have recorded places, people,
and life in travel sketchbooks. Over a period of fifty years,
Laurie Olin, one of America's most distinguished landscape
architects, has recorded aspects of France: its cities and
countryside, streets and cafés, ancient ruins, vineyards, and
parks - from humble to grand, things that interested his designer's
eye - taking the time to see things carefully. Paris in its
seasons, agriculture in Provence and Bordeaux, trees, dogs, and
fountains, all are noted over the years in watercolour or pen and
ink. Originally intended for the pleasure of merely being there as
well as self-education, this personal selection from his many
sketchbooks is accompanied by transcriptions of notes and
observations, along with introductory remarks for the different
regions included: Paris, Haute Loire, Provence, Haute Provence,
Normandy, Aquitaine, and Entre des Meures.
