First edition of the first 12 instalments of this famous Dutch classic work on garden architecture. The author and artist of the work was Gijsbert van Laar (1767-1820), a Dutch garden architect and nurseryman. The work essentially presents an encyclopaedic pictorial survey of all available varieties of garden houses, ruins, sculptures, gates and bridges, garden furniture and decorations, and even designs for monuments for deceased children. Van Laar based his designs on and was inspired by "the best international works", such as J.G. Grohmann's Ideenmagazin für Liebhaber von Gärten . (Leipzig 1796-1806), John Plaw's Ferme ornée; or rural improvements (London 1795) and other works.The complete work eventually consisted of 24 instalments, including 190 plates, which were published by Allart between 1802 and 1809. The majority (8 of 12) of the instalments in the present copy, including 56 plates, are in colour and were available for 3 guilders per instalment, the other 4 instalments contain uncoloured plates, which were cheaper at 1:16 guilders each. Several other editions appeared during the 19th century at other Dutch publishers, by: De Ruyter in Amsterdam (1819/1820), J. Noman & son in Zaltbommel (832-1834), Van Goor in Gouda (1867), and Funke in Amsterdam (1875).Binding very slightly rubbed, water staining to plate LXIX, occasional, minor (water) staining to other leaves, mainly to the blank protective leaves.

Prachtvolles Werk, zu Recht von der Royal Dutch Library in Den Haag als eines ihrer schönsten Werke bezeichnet. Die Tafeln in originalem, sehr dekorativem, frischen Kolorit. Etwa gleichzeitig erschienen mit dem in Deutschland von Grohmann herausgegebenen "Ideen-Magazin für Liebhaber von Gärten", gibt auch dieses Buch romantische Dekorationsbeispiele für den Landschaftsgarten: Badehäuser, Brücken, Grotten, Möbel, Ruinen, Eremitagen, Tempel, Tore, Türme, Vasen, Zäune, usw. in allen möglichen (arabischen, englischen, italienischen, gothischen, türkischen, persischen, indischen und chinesischen) Stilrichtungen. Einige Tafeln zeigen Gartenpläne. Über diese urteilt Wimmer: "Van Laars Pläne stellen eine bisher zu wenig beachtete Quelle für die sonst mager belegte Entwicklungsphase des Landschaftsgartens um 1800 und insbesondere die Pflanzenverwendung dar, die auch für die deutsche Gartendenkmalpflege wertvolle Hinweise lefern kann. Unscgwer lassen sich Parallelen zu den Arbeiten Friedrich Ludwig van Sckells und Peter Joseph Lenné erkennen." (Zandera 39, S. 88).

Third edition, first published in Amsterdam in 1802. With 190 EXTREMELY FINE engravings with ORIGINAL HAND COLOR. This beautifully illustrated volume "is a unique document for those seeking a deeper understanding of the development of the landscape garden in the Netherlands around the year 1800. No other work of this kind was published at the time in Holland, and no publication gives a better visual overview of what was a crucial and complex transitional moment in Dutch garden history. "It was precisely at this moment that Dutch gardens underwent major changes, with traditional formal gardens being replaced gradually by informal landscape gardens. Gardens laid out in this period - from roughly 170 to 1820 - belong to what is defined as the Early Landscape Garden period in the Netherlands. Irregular features characteristic of the English landscape garden - undulating grounds with artificial hills and valleys; winding paths; curvilinear bodies of water; ponds with little rounded islands; and wooded areas densely planted with a combination of trees, shrubs, and exotic flowers - were adopted only hesitatingly in Holland; as a result, the Early Landscape Garden is a transitional style drawing from both the formal and informal garden-design traditions. Initially, only basic landscape-garden elements were introduced, such as winding paths and rounded ponds. These were applied to the geometrical grid of formal, seventeenth-century layouts, with most gardens retaining their rectilinear framework of canals and their symmetrical inner arrangements. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, as the principles of landscape gardening came to be more widely understood, a reaction against the partial rigidity of the Early Landscape Garden is noticeable. Landowners begin to embrace a more spatially conceived, all-encompassing approach to landscape design, resulting in the development of the Mature Landscape Garden style. Characteristic features of landscape gardens, including undulating ground parcels, randomly grouped trees, and curvilinear bodies of water, were applied more boldly and throughout the entire layout of an estate. The publication of Van Laar's 'Storehouse of Garden Ornaments' greatly stimulated the development of landscape gardening in Holland. For us today, it provides a visual encyclopedia of the Early Landscape Garden style from one of its most noteworthy contemporary practitioners. "The aesthetic changes in the arena of garden design documented in Van Laar's work occurred in a sociopolitical period in post-Revolutionary Europe that was also a time of great transition. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Holland suffered serious economic hardships, the destruction and abandonment of many estates, and general neglect under ever-changing governments. These shifts are directly articulated by Van Laar. Permutations of the title of his work reflect the changing historical landscape. The first edition referred to Holland as a 'Republiek' in the subtitle (referring to the Batavian republic existing at the time); later editions use the term empire ('Keizerrijk') or kingdom ('Koningrijk'), reflecting the period when Holland was annexed to France under Louis Bonaparte (1806-10), before achieving independence as a kingdom under civilian rule (1814) "Van Laar's book is an excellent showcase for examining Holland's response to specifically Romantic notions of nature, landscape, and gardening.".
