GARDEN CRAFT IN EUROPE 



THE CONDITION OF VERSAILLES IN 1775, FROM A PAINTING BY HUBERT ROBERT. 



1775 by Hubert Robert, shows in a most realistic way the havoc that had 

 been wrought by this period several years before the Revolution added 

 the finishing touch to their ruin. Although to-day the garden is not 

 kept up as it should be, it is fortunate that it escaped the doom threatened 

 during the Directoire. A plan that was made during the Revolution for 

 the partition of the garden actually exists in the Bibliothcque Nationale.
