Much more serious and responsible art is represented in the pictures of Clumber Park (Plates XXXVIII. To XLI. ), where the natural characteristics of a fine site have been turned to full account, and the resources of sumptuous garden designing have been freely drawn upon. The terraces sloping to the water's edge and backed by masses of foliage, the broad walks flanked with c 2 xxv NOTES ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS flower beds set in the smooth turf, the broad flights of steps leading from the higher t...o the lower levels of the garden, all show the influence of sound artistic judgment, and, by their justness of pro- portion, prove the correctness of the taste which has been exercised in setting them out. It is not so much on the ground of their magnificence that the gardens at Clumber claim attention, but because they have an air of repose and quiet elegance which comes only from respect for decorative subtleties. The formal garden at Compton Wynyates (Plates XLII. To XLIV. ) fits exceptionally with the fine old sixteenth century house, accentua- ting its attractive irregularity and giving, as it were, the finishing touch to its architectural dignity.
