Description
No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or rubbed or creased. 370pp. The French King Louis XIV was, in the 17th and 18th centuries, history's most fanatical gardener. His gardener, the lowly-born Andre Le Notre was phenominally talented. Their joint project, the Gardens of Versailles are well illustrated in this lavish book.
