Hermann, Fürst von Pückler-Muskau [Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärtnerei: verbunden mit der Beschreibung ihrer praktischen Anwendung in Muskau. Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1834] Atlas volume only, oblong folio (328 x 470mm.), 45 hand-coloured lithographed plates by L. Sachse of Berlin (numbered 1-44, no plate 30, and two plates numbered 33 and 34), of which 2 double-page (one with two overlays), overlays on another 2 plates, coloured by J. Renz in Stuttgart (small ticket below each plate), contemporary straight-grained green morocco gilt, original marbled slipcase with red paper label on upper cover titled "Ansichten von dem Fürstlichen Park zu Muskau", lacking the 4 maps, some marginal staining (partly from the colouring), binding rebacked RARE. A series of views of the famous park of Hermann Pückler-Muskau, produced by the renowned lithographic publisher Louis Friedrich Sachse (1798-1877). The English style park still survives, in Bad Muskau, between Hermannsneisse and the Lusatian Neisse on the Polish border. The Prince copied Repton's method of using overlays to demonstrate the proposed changes to the landscape (see lots 182 and 183 for Repton's work), including covering a bare hillside with trees and creating a terrace over the centre of a lake. As the park ran along the banks of the Neisse river, Pückler-Muskau made full use of the river in his scheme. He also employed the architect Schinkel to advise about the structures in the landscape. An English translation of this remarkable book was published in 2014.
