Two views of Westbury, captured in the pages of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island, out today from @triglyphbooks.
From the sweeping approach to Westbury House, deliberately concealed to heighten the drama, to the South Allée in April, where linden trees leaf out and dogwood blooms above the formal hemlock hedges, these photographs offer a glimpse of the beauty and design that have defined the estate for generations.
The book is officially released today! And if you’re joining us tonight for the special conversation moderated by Thammanoune Kannalikham of @kannalikham_designs, you can purchase your copy at the event and have it signed by author Clive Aslet @cliveaslet and photographer Dylan Thomas @dylan_location.
