About the Item

The Muses of Gwinn: Art and Nature in a Garden Designed by Warren H. Manning, Charles A. Platt and Ellen Shipman, by Robin S. Karson. Sagapress, Incorporated, 1995. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. The Muses of Gwinn tells the story of how this work of art was created, and still today reflects the style and economics of the United States during the early 20th c.
