Formal avenues, flower borders and rose pergolas lead the eye through prints from Royal Palaces and Gardens, Mima Nixon's painted tour of royal gardens across Europe, published by A. & C. Black in 1916 with an introductory essay by Dion Clayton Calthrop. The plates range from Windsor, Sandringham and Buckingham Palace to Schönbrunn, Laeken, Het Loo and the Achilleion on Corfu, with Danish gardens at Fredensborg and Villa Hvidøre and further sites in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Norway. Orangery interiors and shaded walks sit beside the palace exteriors, and Nixon often gives a path, a terrace or a flower bed in full seasonal colour more prominence than the residence itself.
