Book Synopsis Arthur A. Shurcliff by : Elizabeth Hope Cushing
Book excerpt: In 1928, Arthur A. Shurcliff (1870-1957) began what became one of the most important examples of the American Colonial Revival landscape--Colonial Williamsburg, a project that stretched into the 1940s and included town and highway planning as well as residential and institutional gardens. Elizabeth Hope Cushing, in this richly illustrated biography, traces Shurcliff's route from early years and planning work in Boston to his largest and most significant contribution to American landscape architecture.
