a better position can be

great care would be neces-

amount of sunlight and
air can be obtained, other-

DESIGN FOR HOUSE AND BOWLING GREEN
illustrated was adopted. By placing the drawing
and dining room wings at an angle with the centre
of the house, not only were these conditions ful-
filled, but the plan both of the house and garden
gained in interest and variety. The second terrace
shown at the foot of the drawing divides the more
formal portion of the design from the wild garden
on the slope of a steep hill, which is in reality a
portion of an old wood at the foot of the hill below
and which has been in-
cluded in the general gar-
den scheme because of its
unusual beauty in the pos-
session of a wealth of wild
flowers.
In planning a bowling
green the essential points
to consider are its size,
position in relation to the
house and garden gener-
ally, its level, and, above
all, its shade. The direc-
tion of its length should,
of course, like a tennis
lawn, be north and south,
and never, unless complete
shade can be obtained,
east and west. If it is
possible to so manage the
green between trees in a
glade as indicated in the
sketch design reproduced
on this page, scarcely
188
A quarter of a century
ago there could scarcely
be said to be a school of
etching in Austria. Com-
paratively few artists
practised it, and most of those who did used it as
a means of reproducing the ideas of others. Of
the small band of original etchers who flourished
in those days, it would be difficult to name more
than one or two whose reputations have travelled
far beyond the boundaries of their native country.
But in the seventies came a revival, and much
of the credit for bringing this about is due to
Wilhelm Unger, who came to Vienna from Germany
