• This landmark work by English author and painter C. M. Villiers-Stuart is one of the earliest and most influential studies on the design and history of Mughal gardens in India.
• Written after her move to India in 1908, the book offers deep insights into the cultural and artistic legacy of Mughal landscape architecture.
• The book’s twelfth chapter, Some Garden Contrasts and a Dream, presents a visionary appeal for preserving Indian design traditions and influenced the creation of the Mughal Garden at Rashtrapati Bhavan, through her discussions with architect Edwin Lutyens.
• Villiers-Stuart’s pioneering argument positioned Mughal gardens as central to Indian decorative art and criticized their underappreciation in comparison to other Indian art forms.
• Enriched with 72 illustrations, including some of her own watercolors, the book serves both as a scholarly study and a visual homage to India's garden heritage.
• A must-have for lovers of Indian art, garden history, landscape design, and cultural studies.
