Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. unpaginated with photographs by Jacques Dubois. Oblong quarto (11 1/2" x 15 3/4") bound in oriiginal publishers' white cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. Translated by Daniel Wheeler. Introduction by Jean d'Ormesson, Introduction by Gerald Van der Kemp and post script by Pierre Lemoine. Inscribed by Gerald Van der kemp. First American edition limited to 1250 copies. The sumptuous palace and gardens of Versailles represented both Louis XIV’s celebration of himself and a perfectly balanced integration of art and nature. Millions of tourists have long admired the gardens for their inexhaustible source of new life and enduring mystery. The allées and parterres resonate with memories of pomps and promenades, feasts and follies. As a monument to the Sun King, the solar symbolism of Apollo reigns over both architecture and ornament at Versailles, yet French classicism dominates the gardens, imposing a strict geometrical order on the forest, shaping the flowerbeds and boxwood, and brightening the bosky depths with fountains and statuary. Photographer Jacques Dubois presents Versailles through the cycle of the seasons and the shifting intensities of their light. His evocative images show the great facades, the stone goddesses, the flowers and pools, the masks, columns, and towering trees transformed by the ever-shifting forces of nature. Brief essays provide historical perspective and insight into the development of this enduring landmark. This gorgeous book will be treasured by visitors to Versailles as well as any garden lover. Condition: Inscribed by Gerald Van der Kemp to title. Previous owner's gift inscription to front end paper. Jacket price clipped else near fine in like jacket.

Book Description HARDCOVER. Condition: VERY GOOD. 1983. Vendome. Limited 1,250. Hard Cover. Book- VG+. Dj- VG. 11.5x15.5. 213 colour photos by author. ***PLEASE NOTE: SORRY, BUT THIS IS A HEAVY ITEM AND MAY REQUIRE EXTRA FOR POSTAGE PARTICULARLY FOR OVERSEAS DESTINATIONS.**** The beauty evoked by Jean d'Ormesson is the fabulous consequence of Louis XIV's determination to celebrate himself in what the Sun King considered a perfect balanced integration of art and nature. Where this occurred was, of course, Versailles. Jacques Dubois has been busy with his camera, following the sun from dawn til dusk and from season to season as it illuminates or casts into darkness the magical universe of art, nature and the phantoms of time that now constitute the gardens of Versailles.
