ROCK LANDSCAPES: THE PULHAM LEGACY (GARDEN ART PRESS) (HB)

This book tells the story of James Pulham & Son, the eminent family of Victorian and Edwardian landscape artists. The rock gardens, for which the firm are mainly remembered today, were built with 'artifical' rocks - formed from heaps of old bricks and rubble, coated with cement, and sculpted to simulate the colour and texture of natural stone. Features many famous locations, including Buckingham Palace, Sandringham, Heatherden Hall, Waddesdon Manor, Battersea Park, Friar Park and RHS Garden Wisley.
