Scope and Contents

This book and the commission to Finlay were dedicated to Diana, Princess of Wales by the Board of Trustees and Staff of the Serpentine Gallery. The first fold-out page consists of the architectural layout and the second a print enumerating trees in the area arranged as a mandala dedicated to Diana in its center. The commission itself consisted of poetic engravings for eight benches and a tree-plaque placed in the meadow around the Sepentine. The captions on these objects are brief sentences adapted from writings, rendered in Latin and English, on Arcadia by Virgil. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
