REPTON, Humphry (1752-1818). 
Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening. London: W. Bulmer and Co., for J. & J. Boydell, [1795].
First edition of a ground-breaking book on landscape gardening, illustrated with innovative aquatint plates with moveable overslips which demonstrate the transformative potential of garden design. Repton was the first to adopt the term 'Landscape Gardening', explaining in his introduction that 'the art can only be advanced and perfected by the united powers of the landscape painter and the practical gardener. The former must conceive a plan, which the latter may be able to execute... yet the luxuriant imagination of the painter must be subjected to the gardener's practical knowledge in planting, digging, and moving earth.' Although Abbey states that a few copies are known with a title-page dated 1794, RIBA argues convincingly for a publication date of 1795. Abbey Scenery 388; RIBA 2735; Tooley 210.

Folio (258 x 365mm). Half-title, 16 aquatint plates, of which 4 double-page, 10 hand-coloured and 14 with overslips, wood-engraved tail-piece (occasional faint marks or thumbsoiling, mostly to margins, light vertical creases in double-page plates). Near-contemporary diced russia, spine lettered in gilt (corners lightly rubbed, minor scuffing). Provenance: John Sanderson, Druid’s Lodge, Anglesey (mid-19th-century inscription on half-title) – unidentified armorial stamp on upper board.
