About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 2008. Hardcover. VG. Cream buckram, gilt letters on spine & front cover, copper & color illus. dust jacket, 224 pp., profusely illus. in color. "To escape the formatlities and royal obligations of Louis XVI's court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of luxurious fantasy for herself at Trianon and the Hamlet, with a trysting grotto, a working farm, and a dairy, where she enjoy[ed] the pastoral delights of milking cows and churning cheese. Marie-Antoinette also planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden among the pleasure pavilions that revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette's entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by Francois Halard accompanied by well-researched texts by Christian Duvernois for the first time since its recent restoration."
