Hardback. Etat : Good. Magnificent Trees celebrates the 30,000 specimens that adorn the landscape of The New York Botanical Garden, a National Historic Landmark. This new visual tribute features lavish photographs by Larry Lederman accompanied by descriptions by Todd Forrest, Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections at the Garden.   Trees evoke wonder in all who observe them. They are at once visions of majesty, and symbols of shelter and peace. The beauty inherent in trees is both perennial and ever-changing; their shapes and colors transform in every change of season, in every sunrise and sunset. The New York Botanical Garden is recognized throughout the world for stewardship and connoisseurship of its vast collections, some in forests, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty.   An authority on the diverse species present in the garden, Todd Forrest writes vividly about the Garden?s past, detailing the incredible histories of the trees in the collection?from their vital role in Native American life and culture, to their wartime function as neutral territory during the Revolutionary War.   Each tree has a story to tell, and just as Forrest gives their collective past words, Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images. He portrays the diversity of this collection with photographs that reveal the trees in a myriad of fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the Garden?s genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of selected trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, bark and leaves; and impressionistic images, abstract in character but beautiful in composition.…

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Frederic Edwin Church, the central figure in a group of artists known as the Hudson River School, made his name as a painter of monumental landscapes of New England, South America, and the Arctic. The landscape imagery he painted in the 1840s and 1850s helped shape not only the cultural identity of a new and burgeoning nation, but also of himself when he applied his vision as an artist to the house and property that he named Olana, known today as Olana State Historic Site, located just outside of Hudson, New York, in the heart of the beautiful Hudson River Valley. Spectacular photography by Larry Lederman of Olana, its landscape and house, inside and out, illustrates one of Church's greatest works of art. The images, many taken especially for this book, have been shot in all seasons and all weather, and include panoramic and aerial views, sunsets, detail shots of both the house and landscape, as well as interior views of the house. Essays will delve into Church and his inspirations and motivations, illuminating not only the estate he built but also his work as an artist. Church was an observer of the cosmos, and Olana, set in the center of the Hudson River Valley, was his laboratory of observation of all of nature: the sky, the land, the seasons, and the details of everything from flora and fauna and water features, particularly when set in the context of the great naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. This book about Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), the Hudson River School's most renowned painter, and Olana, the beautiful house and spectacular property he designed and built in the Hudson River Valley will delight the many fans of both The Hudson River School: Nature and the American Vision and Doris Duke's Shangri-La.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A photographic portrait of 16 private gardens in New York and Connecticut through the seasons, weathers, and times of day.For his third book of landscape photographs with Monacelli, following Magnificent Trees of the New York Botanical Garden and The Rockefeller Family Gardens, Larry Lederman has selected 16 private gardens in New York State and Connecticut and studied them in depth, presenting views through the seasons and weathers to capture their essential spirit.As Gregory Long, President Emeritus of the New York Botanical Garden, observes- "After selecting the gardens, Lederman sets out to learn and understand them. He visits in all seasons, in all weather, at many times of day, in many light conditions. He wants to analyze their design and study their character. He wants to know their plants and see their environmental conditions and visual elements from many points of view. He wanders. He walks the paths, forward and backward, and stops frequently so that his camera can memorize views and details. As a result of this time spent and such intense scrutiny, he sometimes discovers aspects of a place that the residents themselves have never seen or fully appreciated. I think the owners of the gardens in this book will see vistas, patterns, designs on the land they did not know they possess. They will love their even gardens more, and their commitments will grow."
