Notes: "The thesis of this exhibit is that Beatrix Farrand and Mildred Barnes Bliss used both editions of Gertrude Jekyll's ... Garden ornament (1918, 1927) as a pattern book and guide when initially creating various designs for the garden ornament in the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. Images from the pages of Jekyll's work are compared with drawings, prints, and photographs from the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library collection"--Leaf 1.
