Wharton’s Italian Villas - Plate 306
$25.00
Originally published c. 1904. Reissued by Carthay Studio.
Oh, Edith Wharton—she knew how to write a novel, and she certainly knew how to appreciate beauty. In Italian Villas and Their Gardens (1904), she doesn’t just glance at Italy’s iconic gardens—she takes you on a grand tour, offering a blend of sharp wit and architectural precision. This isn’t just admiration, darling; it’s a love letter to design, written in the finest ink.
Wharton doesn’t just stroll through gardens. No, she deconstructs them. Every hedge, every fountain, every sculpted tree—she’s got a sharp eye for the artistry behind it all. These aren’t your typical English lawns or those stiff French formal gardens. Wharton’s Italy is about nature and architecture tangoing in a way that’ll make your heart skip a beat.
For Carthay Studio’s collection, we’ve handpicked illustrations from this historic work, each one capturing Wharton’s signature elegance. From the sweeping vistas of Villa Medici to the hidden charm of Villa d’Este, these prints give you the feeling of being right there, sipping wine on the terraces. And just a little heads-up: these are scans from the original book, so you might notice a little roughness—a charming nod to the halftones used in the first printing. Consider it a vintage touch.
Wharton’s perspective is timeless, darling. Design isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about creating something that lasts. So, take a moment, sip that espresso (or whatever stronger thing you fancy), and imagine yourself in sun-dappled Italy, surrounded by beauty that’s stood the test of time.
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Ideal for: Lovers of timeless elegance. Garden enthusiasts. Dreamers of Italy’s sun-kissed landscapes. And anyone who thinks beauty should never be rushed.
This piece is printed just for you the moment you order. It takes a touch longer to arrive, but that’s the beauty of made-to-order: less waste, more intention. Consider it a small act of elegance in a world of excess.
