A FINE AND VERY BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED COLLECTION. Images include: Chatsworth's "conservative wall", The Great Conservatory designed by Joseph Paxton, an interior view of the lily house, "Victoria amazonica" (the plant Paxton successfully bred with the aid of a heated pool he designed and whose organic structure was the inspiration behind his design for the Crystal Palace); Thomas Archer's Cascade house and waterfall; numerous views of tropical plants (including bananas), and a number of estate buildings. See illustration on preceding page.
