By the beginning of the nineteenth century, landscape gardening had
divided into at least two branches. The geometric style promoted
strictly ordered gardens, while the natural style, for which the
period is known, preserved characteristics of untamed vistas.
Edited by a former professional rival, John Claudius Loudon (1783
1843), this one-volume collection of the works of Humphry Repton
(1752 1818) first appeared in 1840. Featuring more than 250
engravings, it illuminates the principal styles and contemporary
debates of landscape design. Including perspective tricks to
disguise differing water levels, and instructions on the use of
cattle as a natural measure of scale, Repton's writings reflect the
attention to detail that was involved in planning and executing
major projects. The collection is prefaced with a biographical
notice believed to have been written by the architect John Adey
Repton (1775 1860), who collaborated with his father on many
schemes."
