Observations on the theory and practice of landscape gardening : including some remarks on Grecian and Gothic architecture, collected from various manuscripts, in the possession of the different noblemen and gentlemen, for whose use they were originally written : the whole tending to establish fixed principles in the respective arts
A treatise on landscape gardening and estate architecture by Humphry Repton, with architectural notes by his son John Adey Repton, printed in London in 1805 for landowners commissioning improvements to their parks and houses. The plates are aquatint and hand-coloured park views, many with hinged overlay flaps showing a scene before and after alteration, plus plans, tree studies and Grecian and Gothic building details useful for landscape silhouettes, fence and lawn textures, and before-and-after layouts.
