Fletcher Steele, Landscape Architect by Robin Karson

Fletcher Steele, Landscape Architect by Robin Karson

For 60 years Steele practised landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly 700 gardens that form an important link between 19th-century Beaux Arts formalism and modern landscape design.

Robin Karson, Hon. ASLA, is a landscape historian and the founder and executive director of LALH. She has published extensively on American landscape architectural history and design, including several books and numerous articles and essays, and is coeditor of Pioneers of American Landscape Design. Her books have received two Honor Awards from the ASLA, an American Horticultural Society Book Award, and a J. B. Jackson Award. Carol Betsch, LALH managing editor, graduated from Barnard College with a degree in art history, specializing in nineteenth-century American painting and photography. After working as a researcher at Art in America, she began her career as a copyeditor at Viking press and two decades of freelance editing for Harry N. Abrams in 1974. In 1980, she moved into scholarly publishing at Cornell University Press, which she left as senior manuscript editor in 1999 to join the University of Massachusetts Press as managing editor. Her parallel career as a landscape and garden photographer led to her collaborations with Robin Karson and LALH. She retired from UMASS Press and joined the LALH staff in 2017.
