About the author
Humphry Repton
31 books1 followerHumphry Repton was the last great designer of the classic phase of the English landscape garden. His first name is often incorrectly spelt "Humphrey".
Unlike Brown and other famous predecessors, he only worked as a designer, not the contractor for executing his designs, and therefore made much less money. Many of his famous sketches with folding sections survive; these gave "before and after" views for his clients. He appears to be the first person to describe himself (on his business card) as a landscape gardener.
