Fragments on the theory and practice of landscape gardening : including some remarks on Grecian and Gothic architecture, collected from various manuscripts in 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
Fragments on the theory and practice of landscape gardening is a 1816 London treatise by Humphry Repton and his son J. Adey Repton, printed by Bensley for publisher J. Taylor, written for the noblemen and gentlemen who commissioned their estate work. The aquatint plates are rotated sideways on the page, showing gardens and mansions in tinted views. A designer can take from them the framing of parkland, with trees massed at the edges, houses set in lawns, and figures placed along drives for scale.
