Special edition of the successful exhibition catalog. The three significant Pückler parks - Bad Muskau, Babelsberg, and Branitz - form the backbone of this attractively illustrated book. Through these three landscape designs, the major themes in Pückler's life are described, as well as his smaller episodes and passions. The "green prince" was already well-known during his lifetime for his travels, as a favorite of European society, and as a witty bestselling author. He was a talented communicator of his ideas and plans and knew how to navigate different social settings with ease. In the overview of the many aspects of his life along the three major park designs, this book presents a wonderful chapter of lived contemporary history in both its texts and images.
