"Harold Peto (1854-1933) was one of the leading garden designers of the Edwardian era. A great admirer of the Italian Renaissance, he is most associated with the Classical revival so fashionable in the first two decades of the twentieth century. After a highly successful career as an architect, Peto became increasingly interested in garden design and was commissioned to build a number of gardens in England and the South of France. Much admired by his contemporaries and Gertrude Jekyll in particular, he was recognised as one of the most successful designers of his generation, and his gardens - works of formidable ingenuity, colour and inspired architectural work - are testament to his lasting influence." "Illustrated with over 150 photographs from the Country Life archive, and with Robin Whalley's commentary, the book is a survey of the life and works of one of Britain's most influential garden designers."--BOOK JACKET.
