Hardcover. Condition: New. When he embarked on his career as a landscape gardener Humphry Repton (1752-1818) had no experience in the field but taste, contacts and enthusiasm in abundance. This well-illustrated volume traces his life and career, from the Capability Brown-inspired terrace, lake, walks and tree-planted common he designed for Shropshire's Fearney Hall to Endsleigh Cottage in North Devon where he mastered the flow of water to create the 'enchanted ground' of Dell West. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Widely acknowledged as the last great landscape designer of the eighteenth century, Humphry Repton created work that survives as a bridge between the picturesque theory of Capability Brown and the pastoral philosophy of Frederick Law Olmsted. By turns inspired by and in opposition to the grandeur of Browns estates, Reptons contribution to the British landscape encompassed a tremendous range, from subtle adjustments that emphasised the natural features of the countryside to deliberate interventions that challenged the notion of the picturesque. This remarkable book explores 15 of Reptons most celebrated landscapes from the early maturity of his gardens at Courteenhall and Mulgrave Castle to more adventurous landscapes at Stanage, Brightling, and Endsleigh that would point the way toward how we envision parkland today. With photography by Joe Cornish commissioned specially for the book, and including reproductions of key illustrations and plans for garden design from the famous red books that shed light on Reptons vision and process, this book illuminates some of Britains most beautiful gardens and parks and the masterful mind behind their creation. A definitive survey of the glorious British landscapes designed by Humphry Repton, whose influence is felt everywhere from the kitchen gardens of English estates to New York's Central Park.
