REPTON, Humphry. Original pen-and-ink and wash drawing of his garden at Hare Street, Essex. Ca. early 1800s. Signed "H Repton" on verso and with pencil annotion "Hare Street in our garden." On J. Whatman paper. Penciled note on verso by Nigel Temple "By Humphry Repton who lived at Hare Street, Essex, throughout his life as a professional landscape gardener." 224 x 170 mm. A CHARMING STUDY OF REPTON'S OWN GARDEN. Repton moved to a modest cottage at Hare Street near Romford in Essex. In 1788, aged 36 and with four children and no secure income, he hit on the idea of combining his sketching skills with his limited experience of laying out grounds at Sustead to become a "landscape gardener" (a term he himself coined). Three roads close to the vicinity of his cottage at Hare Street (now renamed Main Road) in the Gidea Park area of Romford have been named after him: Repton Avenue, Repton Gardens and Repton Drive.
