BACKSTORY

摘要

Mrs. Herbert Satterlee (nee Louisa Morgan, the daughter of J. P. Morgan) was one of Beatrix Farrand's most prominent clients on Mount Desert Island, Maine. According to Judith B. Tankard's updated and expanded book on the foundational landscape architect, Beatrix Farrand: Garden Artist, Landscape Architect (The Monacelli Press, 2022), Farrand visited the Satterlee estate annually to appraise the garden and advise on its maintenance. Tankard notes that there are also black-and-white photographs and hand-colored lantern slides of the Satterlee gardens, some of which are reproduced beautifully in the new book.
