Repton's contribution to the British landscape was vast and multifaceted, encompassing a wide range of approaches. At times, he drew inspiration from Brown's grand estates, while at other times, he deliberately sought to challenge the notion of picturesque beauty. This captivating book delves into 15 of Repton's most celebrated landscapes, showcasing his early maturity at Courteenhall and Mulgrave Castle, as well as his more adventurous designs at Stanage, Brightling, and Endsleigh. Through stunning photography by Joe Cornish, commissioned specifically for the book, and the inclusion of reproductions of key illustrations and plans for garden design from the renowned red books that shed light on Repton's vision and process, this book offers a captivating glimpse into some of Britain's most beautiful gardens and parks, as well as the masterful mind behind their creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2020g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 x 235 x 30 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780847863549\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Phibbs,Joe Cornish","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102156222714,"sku":"9780847863549","price":43.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/humphry-repton-designing-the-landscape-garden","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
