Humphry Repton, a prominent English landscape designer, made significant contributions to the classic phase of the English landscape garden. Considered the successor to Capability Brown, Repton’s pioneering style led to more intricate and eclectic landscape designs in the 19th century. Unlike his predecessors, Repton focused solely on design work rather than project execution, which affected his earnings. He introduced detailed sketches with folding sections to showcase “before and after” views for his clients and was the first to label himself as a landscape gardener on his business card.
