HUMPHRY REPTON: DESIGNING THE LANDSCAPE GARDEN
by John Phibbs
Illustrated by Joe Cornish
Published by Rizzoli International Publications. 1st. 2021
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Widely acknowledged as the last great landscape designer of the eighteenth century, and credited with being the first true 'landscape gardener,' Humphry Repton's work survives as a bridge between the picturesque theory of Capability Brown and the pastoral philosophy of Frederick Law Olmstead. This book explores fifteen of Repton's most celebrated projects, with photography by Joe Cornish commissioned specially for the book. Large, heavy format. Matt pictorial boards. Colour photos and illustrations.
A lovely copy.
