HENDERSON’S 
PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
The Bois de 
Boulogne Cascade 
The grand cascade 
illustrated to the right 
is in the famous Parisian 
park. It is well known 
to thousands of Ameri- 
cans and greatly admired 
by all observers. It is of 
artificial formation, but 
there was a stream of 
water available. The 
natural effects attained 
are perfection, illustrat- 
ing what may be accom- 
plished with money and 
taste. They are sugges- 
tive of similar effects, 
modest or pretentious, 
that may be obtained in 
many places in the 
United States. 
Caserta Statuary 
The two groups illus- 
trated below are placed 
on each side of the 
cascade in the famous 
"Caserta Gardens,” in 
Italy. They represent 
an episode in Greek 
mythology: Actreon, a 
huntsman, having sur- 
prised Diana and her 
nymphs at the bath, 
the chaste goddess in 
her anger has changed 
him into a deer, and 
he is being torn in 
pieces by his own 
hounds.
