Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens, People

- Dimensions: 9.5" x 13"

- Featuring text by Valentine Lawford, over 200 beautiful color photographs by Horst, and a foreword by the inimitable Diana Vreeland, this original edition of Vogue’s Book of Houses, Gardens, People remains the ultimate style tome. 

- This gorgeous volume from 1968 offers readers intimate glimpses into the rarely seen private lives of some of the twentieth century’s most colorful and creative personalities: Doris Duke’s Shangri La, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s ornate Bois de Boulogne residence, the Kennedy-era White House gardens, Cy Twombly’s magnificent Roman palazzo, and the Guinness family’s ancient Irish castle. Each home reveals the imaginations, knowledge, taste and interest of their distinct owners. Many of the profiles inside were first run as "Fashions of Living" features during the storied Vreeland-era Vogue of the 1960’s.

- As the book’s original jacket states, “This book provides an opportunity to see how a number of people live during their private hours, among the possessions they love and in the surroundings they have planned or improved or cultivated. It is not only for those interested in architecture and art, furniture and objects, and houses and gardens in general, but also for anyone curious about the personalities and habits of some of the most attractive and creative people of our time.”

- A brilliant lesson in style, this highly coveted and out-of-print title makes an extraordinary gift. 

- We have two copies available of this title, both in their original dust jackets, which have minor wear and are now protected in plastic sleeves. Please see our detailed photos.
