This series documents Pierre du Prey's research and writing on the Ockham Park album held in the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

DR1986:0762:001-035
Description:
- Comprised of a title page and 34 views, the 'Hortorum' of ca. 1600 illustrates a series of designs for town-house gardens. These designs, which together form a kind of pattern book, are characterized by trellis- or gallery-enclosed plots adorned with intricate geometric parterres, topiary, arbours, pavilions and fountains. The parterres shown in plates 1 to 20 represent the artist's personal interpretation of the classical Orders -- Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian -- as applied to garden design.
