American Designed Landscapes

In this exquisite volume, over 100 black and
white images reveal a powerful chronology of design on the land in the United
States. Beginning with 18th-century Middleton Place and 19th-century University
of Virginia, Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Riverside, and Biltmore, Ward's lens captures
the essence of time and place.

Ward's eye for 20th-century landscapes is similarly discerning: Gwinn, Dumbarton
Oaks, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden, and Naumkeag emerge as alluring places
that only skillful design can engender.

This remarkable photographer brings elegant clarity to more modern landscapes as
well. Cranbrook Academy, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Miller Garden are all
featured here. The volume culminates with images of California Scenario, Bloedel
Reserve, Paley Park, and Solana, making the book a visual feast of the seminal
landscapes in America, from its founding to the present day. Printed in Italy
with high-quality duotones.

12 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches; 128 pages. ISBN 1-888931-09-4. Hardcover.
