The Well-lived Life: One Hundred Years of House & Garden
By Assouline Publishing
Located in North Hollywood, CA
The Well-lived Life: One Hundred Years of House & Garden by Dominique Browning.
Assouline Publishing, Inc. 2008.
Large hardcover coffee table book.
Size: 12 1/8" x 9 1/2" x 1" 1/4.
House & Home - 238 pages.
Few magazines can lay claim to a century of history or to having published work by some extraordinary and distinguished photographers and writers as House & Garden. Now, straight from the pages of this well-loved periodical, The Well-Lived Life presents a lavish chronicle of a country and a culture coming into its own, documenting America's continuing education in matters of house, home and garden over the course of the 20th century. Selecting high points from the magazine, this book surveys the growing confidence and imagination reflected in American interiors and entertaining over the last century -the dinners, picnics and parties of a country dedicated to welcoming others- and the changing definition of home. It also illuminates the joys -sedentary or sporting- Americans have always found in the out-of-doors. The Well-Lived Life surveys the landscape of our lawns and gardens...

Discover the artistic splendor of the gardens of Versailles with the book "Versailles Gardens: Sculpture And Mythology" by Jacques Girard, 1st edition published in 1985. Large heavy collectible coffee table hardcover book
A renowned photographer captures the grandeur, fantasy, history, and artwork of Louis XIV's spectacular gardens of Versailles.
A beautiful book that explains fully the symbolic and historic gardens of Versailles, France. It was published in 1985 and 30 years later the photographic plates stand up to the test of time although there probably are more recent publications. The concept of Louis XIV and created by Le Notre, the greatest landscape architect, the gardens are a lasting tribute to the gods, nature and the marrying of these elements to architecture and design.
“In 1664 a festival was held in the gardens which marked the beginning of the glorious era of Versailles”.
The book has a complete and detailed map of the gardens and extensive commentary on the photographic plates and a full list of the sculptures and the artists.
