A very good copy.<BR><BR>"The 1904 publication of <I>Italian Villas and Their Gardens</B></I> followed <I>Poems of Childhood </B></I>by about two months. With text by Edith Wharton and pictures by Maxfield Parrish, the volume represented a genuine collaborative effort between the two. Each traveled to Italy to gather material for the project; later they met in Lenox, Massachusetts, to compare notes and to discuss the points of view to be taken in the publication. First serialized in <I>The Century Magazine</B></I> and then released in book form, <I>Italian Villas and Their Gardens</B></I> provided an avenue of expression for Parrish's architectural interests, as well as for his growing desire to paint landscapes. The paintings, as a result, were a sensitive and striking departure from his more fanciful work, to which the public had grown accustomed" (Coy Ludwig, <I>Maxfield Parrish</B></I>, p. 32).<BR><BR>Ludwig, p. 206.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
