About This Item
Harvard University Press, 1994. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. Firmly bound,small area of light soiling on edge of page titled "The House" (i.e. Glenhame Hall) and repeated on facing page, also visible on fore edge, small red splash mark on lower edge of rear endpaper and repeated on (inner) jacket flap, contents otherwise clean and unmarked ; half-inch closed tear to rear lower edge of jacket, a few surface indents/scrape marks and slight edge creasing. This publication reproduces all the text pages and illustrations from the two Red Books in the collection of the Garden Library at Dumbarton Oaks; that for Brandsbury, produced in 1789 as the first Red Book, and the one for Glemham Hall, produced in 1791. Reproduced, complete with all views of original and alternate suggestions by Repton, at actual size but not presented with the typical overlays. With an Introduction by Stephen Daniels. ReviewThis admirable reprint, produced in America at the Stinehour Press, shows Repton's confidence and persuasive charm at an early stage in his career; it would have been difficult to resist the double overlay at Glemham or his sketches of a Gothic Seat and Reposoir at Brandsbury. 80 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Inventory No: dscf11364. .
