Repton became England's leading landscape designer of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His success was based on the watercolors he produced for his clients. They include overlays (or, as he called them, "slides") that showed the potential transformation of their estates and gardens. The hand-colored aquatint illustrations in this book demonstrate his method of presentation to his clients.
