Humphry Repton was what we would call a landscape architect though he called himself “an improver of landscapes” and that he certainly was. He obtained many commissions from the Prince Regent (George IV). Several other blog posts here have more wonderful aquatints after his designs.

The Brighton Pavilion looking its glorious best. 1826. Plates from John Sloan’s “Views of the Royal Pavilion”. Granted George IV overspent slightly but then we have it to enjoy here and in real time.
