Book excerpt: A definitive survey of the glorious British landscapes designed by Humphry Repton, whose influence is felt everywhere from the rolling meadows and kitchen gardens of English estates to New York City’s Central Park. 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 Brown’s estates, Repton’s contribution to the British landscape encompassed a tremendous range, from subtle adjustments that emphasized the natural features of the countryside to deliberate interventions that challenged the notion of the picturesque. This remarkable book explores 15 of Repton’s 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 Repton’s vision and process, this book illuminates some of Britain’s most beautiful gardens and parks—and the masterful mind behind their creation.

Book excerpt: Humphry Repton (1752–1818) remains one of England’s most interesting and prolific garden and landscape designers. Renowned for his innovative design proposals and distinctive before-and-after images, captured in his famous “Red Books,” Repton’s astonishing career represents the link between the simple parklands of his predecessor Capability Brown and the more elaborate, structured, and formal landscapes of the Victorian age. This lavishly illustrated book, based on a wealth of new research, reinterprets Repton’s life, working methods, and designs, and examines why they proved so popular in a rapidly changing world.

Excerpt: ...the sun is too high to be troublesome in summer, and, during the winter, it is seldom an unwelcome visitant in the climate of England. 2, 3. It can hardly be necessary to enumerate the advantages of placing the offices near, and stables at no great distance from the house. 4. The many interesting circumstances that lead us into a kitchen-garden, the many inconveniences which I have witnessed from the removal of old gardens to a distance, and the many instances in which I have been desired to bring them back to their original situations, have led me to conclude, that a kitchen-garden cannot be too near, if it be not seen from the house. 5. So much of the comfort of a country residence depends on the produce of its home farm, that even if the proprietor of the mansion should have no pleasure in the fashionable experiments in husbandry, yet a farm, with all its appendages, is indispensable: but, when this is considered as an object of profit, the gentleman-farmer commonly mistakes his aim; and, as an object of ornament, I hope the good taste of the country will never confound the character of a park with that of a farm. To every dwelling there must belong certain unsightly premises, which can never be properly ornamental; such as yards for coal, wood, linen, &c, and these are more than doubled when the farm-house is contiguous; for this reason I am of opinion, that the farming premises should he at a greater distance than the kitchen-garden or the stables, which have a more natural connexion with each other. The small pool in front of the house has been purposely left; not as an object of beauty in itself, but as the source of great beauty to the scenery; for, in the dry valleys of Sussex, such a pond, however small, will invite the deer...
