This book includes images of beautiful English gardens from the 19th Century. They are restful and pleasant to observe. For those who wish to relax and color the pictures, you should be aware that many of the images dark or gray areas are present that cannot be colored. Often one must color the sky instead of the trees, or the mansions and pathways instead of the main objects in the picture. The beauty of the gardens and mansions presents an artistic picture as is, so coloring it allows one to add to the existing artistic elegance. Still, don't expect this to be a typical coloring book with bold black lines surrounding white spaces. It is a book of gentle art presented as gardens of old. The pages are printed single-sided to prevent colors from bleeding through onto other pages.
