Humphry Repton showed his clients, who ranged from the Prince Regent to over three hundred private landowners, his proposals for improving their property in hand written Red Books illustrated with before-and-after views. These views, which consist of a watercolour painting with an overlay which shows the proposed change, were the basis for engraved books published during Repton's lifetime. No Red Book had been published before the Basilisk edition, which includes his major works: Antony House, Cornwall; Attingham Park, Shropshire and Sheringhall Hall, Norfolk. The companion volume shows the properties as they now appear and traces Repton's career and influence.
