- One of England’s most original and prolific garden and landscape designers, Humphrey Repton was renowned for his innovative design proposals and distinctive ‘before and after’ images, captured in his ‘Red Books’. Based on new research from the Plymouth and West Devon, West and East Sussex, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Edinburgh and Lincolnshire Record Offices as well as archival sources now found in North America, this monograph reinterprets Repton’s life, working methods and designs. Winner of the Foundation for Landscape Studies John Brinkerhoff Jackson Book Award, it also examines why the designs proved so popular in a rapidly changing world.
