Humphry Repton's Red Books have long been the subject of scholarly interest for their unique contribution to British landscape discourse around 1800. Through detailed analysis of Repton's working practices, Andr Rogger argues that the landscape gardener's main artistic achievement is in the text-and-image concept of his Red Books, rather than in his grounds as finally executed.
