The History of Jungle Gardens |
|
This colorful hardcover coffee-table book, The History of Jungle Gardens, reveals the roughly century-old story of Jungle Gardens, the private gardens of Tabasco heir E. A. McIlhenny that evolved into a 170-acre tourist attraction renowned for its exotic semitropical foliage, abundant wildlife, and ornate Buddha temple. The book's large, glossy pages include numerous previously unpublished archival black-and-white images dating primarily from the 1890s through the 1940s, as well as present-day color images — covering subjects as diverse as azaleas and bamboo to alligators and snowy egrets.
