Stipple engraved portrait of Repton, twenty-seven engraved plates [12 hand-colored, 3 tinted, 12 with overslips, one colored folding and one double page]. Numerous engraved aquatint vignettes, one hand-colored, two with overslips. After trying and failing in a multitude of business endeavors, Repton launched himself as a "landscape gardener," a term he coined himself. After Capability Brown's death Repton filled the void in garden design, more as a consultant, charging for his Red Book designs, but allowing clients to arrange actual execution, This work is considered his classic. Some plate offsetting, frontispiece portrait toned, endpapers renewed, text generally clean, two large foldouts with nicks result of careless folding repaired with archival clear tape at corners. Raised bands, spine panels decorated in gilt arabesque motifs, red morocco spine label. ABBEY SCENERY 390. MARTIN-HARDY p.138. GORDON N.RAY 38. "The overlays in Repton's books on landscape gardening, by means of which he showed selected prospects before and after he had turned his hand to them, have caused collectors to treasure his engravings as curiosities, but they are remarkable as well for the excellence of his draftsmanship." TOOLEY, P.129. Modern, sympathetic full brown calf and marbled boards. AEG. Fine.

First Edition
Quarto. (14 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches). Stipple engraved portrait of the author by W. Holl after S. Shelley, 27 engraved or aquatint plates (including 12 hand-coloured, 3 tinted, 12 uncoloured; 12 with overslips, 1 folding, 1 double-page), numerous engraved, wood-engraved or aquatint vignettes and illustrations (2 with overslips). Uncut in original printed pink paper boards. Rebacked in pink paper at an early date. A spectacular copy, uncut in original printed boards, of the first edition: a classic work on landscape gardening in which Repton lays out and illustrates what he considered to be the fixed principles which should be adhered to in any large scale landscape improvement. Humphry Repton was the main successor to Lancelot 'Capability' Brown as an improver of grounds for the English gentry in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. He was particularly noted for his "Red Books." These were produced for each individual client and were made up from a manuscript description of his proposed improvements bound with Repton's own watercolour drawings of the grounds, with his proposed alterations displayed on an overlay. Repton's landscapes displayed his preference for a gradual transition between house and grounds by means of terraces, balustrades and steps. Textually this is one of Repton's most valuable works, for two main reasons: it contains long quotations from some very important Red Books which are now lost (those for Corsham, Bulstrode, Shardeloes, and West Wycombe), and it also contains Repton's major contribution to the evaluation of 'Capability' Brown. Although critical of some minor details the general tone of these passages, it is full of praise for the memory of the great gardener, and an able defence against the criticisms voiced by the theoreticians, Payne Knight and Uvedale Price Abbey Scenery 390; Hardie p.128l; Prideaux p.349; Tooley 399.

First Edition
Large quarto. (13 3/8 x 11 inches). xii, 238 pp., (2). 42 aquatint plates (22 hand-coloured, including ten with overslips and three double-page, 13 uncoloured, including three with overslips, 7 tinted, including one with an overslip), 1 wood-engraved and letterpress plan, 9 aquatint head- and tail-piece vignettes (including two with overslips), and numerous wood-engraved illustrations. Half-title. Plate list (including errata) at end. Contemporary diced russia boards with gilt border, spine in six compartments, gilt center tool, lettered gilt in second and fifth comparments, marbled edges. The first edition of Repton's final great work on landscape gardening. In both the present work and his earlier Observations. (London: 1803), Humphrey Repton stated his view that the landscape architect should be guided by the single guiding principle that his work should produce a 'pleasing combination of Art and Nature adapted to the use of Man' (viii). Fragments focuses on a number of aristocratic landscapes: Cobham, Woburn, Endsleigh, Ashridge, Longleat, and other projects such as Ealing Park and White Lodge, which took in views of royal parks. They commemorate a historically minded, public spirited nobility. Other chapters focus on commissions for a range of clients, from Norfolk squires to Essex merchants; they establish a polite consensus around highly detailed plans for gardens. The final Fragment on Hare Street incorporates the outlook of 'venerable noblemen' such as the Duke of Portland and Viscount Torrington in the view from Repton's own garden. Repton notes that Fragments is drawn from 'more than four hundred Reports in MS,' i.e his Red Books. This fact alone makes the present work particularly valuable, as most of the Red Books are no longer extant. Interestingly, Repton gives the modern reader the rare gift of explicitly outlining his colouring process in the book itself. In Fragment Twelve, titled 'Concerning Colours,' Repton discusses colour theory and includes detailed instructions for the artisans who colored the aquatints in Fragments by hand. In this chapter he illustrates his colour theory with a fascinating plate that includes a diagram explaining the 'Harmony of Colours' as well as instructions for colouring a landscape scene 'before and after sun-rise; that is, before and after the natural process of colouring takes place.' Humphry Repton was the main successor to Lancelot 'Capability' Brown as an improver of grounds for the English gentry in the late 18th and early 19th century. Repton's landscapes displayed his preference for a gradual transition between house and grounds by means of terraces, balustrades and steps. He was particularly noted for the Red Books, which were produced for individual clients and were made up from manuscript descriptions bound with Repton's own watercolour drawings, with his proposed alterations displayed on an overlay. The present volume reproduces these otherwise unobtainable works of English landscape gardening. Abbey Scenery 391; Martin Hardie, p. 129; Prideaux, p. 349; Tooley 398.

First Edition
First edition, with the bookplate of the celebrated collector John Roland Abbey, of Repton's final treatise on landscape gardening, featuring his characteristic ingenious overslips, showing the changed landscape before and after his improvements. Repton was the most prominent landscape gardener of his generation, with his designs visible across the great estates of the country to this day. "His influence on English landscape gardening has proved more powerful than that of any of his predecessors, rivals, or successors. The flexibility of his style, applicable to small gardens and large parks, incorporating a variety of architectural and horticultural features, and accommodating informal, domestic social arrangements, has ensured an enduring appeal" (ODNB). This final work was written as he was declining in fortune, a victim of his own success, and as the war years and economic depression reduced the desire for vast landscaping projects. "He was caricatured in Jane Austen's Mansfield Park (1814) as a generic name, 'Repton, or any body of that sort', for the fashion-conscious to commission. Fragments is a valedictory work, charting the break-up of landscape gardening and the society which sustained it" (ibid.). The work thus marks, to some extent, the end of a golden age of landscape gardening, a phenomenon which remains a key feature of the Georgian era in popular memory. Fragments brings together Repton's lifetime of practical experience into a single theory of landscape design which was intelligible to the layman. He died two years later. His son, John Adey Repton, had worked with his father on many projects and had assisted in the writing of the book; following his father's death he worked chiefly on the continent, making extensive changes to a number of estates. The English book collector John Roland Abbey (1894-1969) is esteemed as perhaps the greatest collector of English colour plate books; his "colour-plate collection showed genuine originality and his catalogues represented real advances of knowledge" (ODNB). The catalogues of his collection remain the core reference works for books in the subject. Abbey acquired duplicates, and his catalogue entry for this work describes a different copy. Abbey Scenery 391; Martin-Hardie, p. 129; Prideaux, p. 349; Tooley, p. 208. Large quarto (341 x 277 mm). Contemporary russia, spine lettered in gilt, richly gilt in compartments, wide gilt and blind panelling to covers, gilt serrated cover edges, brown endpapers, gilt edges. With 43 aquatint plates from drawings by Humphry Repton, of which 21 are hand-coloured, 11 with overslips, 3 double-page; 5 are tinted, one with overslip; the remainder uncoloured, 3 with overslips; 9 aquatint vignettes in the text, 2 with overslips; numerous woodcuts in the text. Complete with half-title and errata. Neat restoration to spine and joint ends and inner hinges, scattered very faint foxing, notwithstanding a clean, handsome, very desirable copy.
