Peter Joel Harrison has written four studies on Historic American landscape detail that are published by John Wiley and Son. These hardcover volumes contain more than 1,100 images fashioned after copperplate engravings, all printed on cream paper using period typefaces and with marbleized end papers. They are the result of three decades of field research as Mr. Harrison traveled the country. Anyone involved in design, restoration or reproduction of historically accurate or historically inspired garden structures will find these books invaluable.
