1905 1^ed Italian Villas & Gardens Edith Wharton Maxfield Parrish ART FAMOUS

Edith Wharton was a 19^th-century American author known for her stories of the American Gilded age. While she is much better-known for her book ‘Age of Innocence’, she published an important study into Italian homes, gardens, and villas focusing on the correlation between fine homes and their gardens.

First published in 1904, this work contains 26 impressive illustrations from Maxfield Parrish. According to Forbes,

“Parrish illustrations, in trademark dreamy, fairy-tale style–seems to dislocate these legendary gardens from time altogether”.
