The spectacular transformation of Paris during the 19th century into a city of tree-lined boulevards and public parks both redesigned the capital and inspired the era’s great Impressionist artists. The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and country-dwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work. Public Parks, Private Gardens includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, Cézanne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat. Many of these artists were themselves avid gardeners, and they painted parks and gardens as the distinctive scenery of contemporary life. Writing from the perspective of both a distinguished art historian and a trained landscape designer, Colta Ives provides new insights not only into these essential works, but also into this extraordinarily creative period in France’s history.

Excerpt from The Parks and Gardens of Paris, Considered in Relation to the Wants of Other Cities and of the Public and Private Gardens: Being Notes on a Study of Paris Gardens It is scarcely necessary to show that a clean and ordered city is better than an ugly and filthy one, but it may be well to consider that from the lowest point of view it is the interest Of even the poorest tradesman in London to help forward bold measures for its improvement. Whatever the fortunes of our country in the future, nobody can doubt that the English race will form the most numerous of civilised peoples, nor that the city where Shakespeare and Milton wrote will be holiday-ground to millions of English-speaking people besides those that inhabit it. The attractions Of London to strangers are really greater than those Of any other city that exists, but our total want Of plan, or Of any wise provision calculated to make locomotion pleasant or even possible throughout London, and the filthy and depressing aspect of the narrow streets, effectually drive away thousands of people from America and our vast colonies only too anxious to stay in London were it made possible to them. It is a common occurrence for Americans to run the gauntlet of Fleet Street and the Strand, and judging the whole town by their experience of a few narrow and greasy thoroughfares, to escape with all speed to pleasanter places. In Paris superb avenues may be seen Often leading to nothing in London many important points of interest are practically unapproachable even to those who know the town. Of course we cannot cut down our Fleet Streets or our Strands, but we could at much less cost than that of similar improvements in Paris drive a series of noble roads through the wretched shanties that cover a good half of London, so that it would be possible to get some clear and comprehensive idea of its plan, its suburbs, its parks - its noblest treasure Of all, its ship-cities, the river below the bridges, its buildings, and its commerce.

Excerpt from The Parks and Gardens of Paris, Considered in Relation to the Wants of Other Cities and of the Public and Private Gardens: Being Notes on a Study of Paris Gardens "And let it appeare that lie doth not change his County Manners for those of Forraigne Parts: But only prick in some Flowers of that he hath Learned abroad into the Customes of his own country." - Bacon's Essay on Travel. This book originated as follows: when some years ago the author first went to Paris, he was privileged to note in the Times anything of importance with reference to horticulture that might be observed in that city and its neighbourhood interesting from an English point of view. Upon some of the points noted a lengthy correspondence arose, which (like most discussions) not being calculated to point to any definite conclusions, he was led to embody his notes upon the various subjects in the form of a book. At first the questions discussed were of purely horticultural interest, such as the extensive and skilful cultivation of hardy fruit-trees in France which has made fruit so good and plentiful in that country and led to its being so largely exported; the remarkable culture of Asparagus round Paris; the system by which in a harsh climate the French growers supply so well not only their own markets but those of many other cities with excellent salads throughout the winter and spring; the cultivation in the market-gardens round Paris, in which at least threefold more produce is gathered than from similar extent of garden-ground elsewhere; the very curious growth of Mushrooms beneath Paris, which had, till then, not been described or illustrated.
