The author Henry Inigo Triggs (1876–1923) was an English country house architect, designer of formal gardens, and author.  Triggs specialised in historical research and in re-creating gardens of the past.  The present volume follows a report on public squares and open spaces in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Munich that Triggs presented as the recipient of the Godwin Bursary in 1906.  

No publication year on the title page, but first edition per the date on the verso.
