PAPWORTH, John Buonarotti. Hints on Ornamental Gardening, London, R. Ackermann, 1823, 8°, hand-coloured aquatint frontispiece, one uncoloured transformation plan (with overlay), and 57 hand-coloured plates, contemporary half calf, spine gilt (extremities lightly rubbed). [Archer 248.2]
Archer: "Papworth recognized that individual dwelling types would harmonize better with some kinds of landscape scenery than with others ... The plates are elegantly coloured, typical of the high degree of finish usually found in publisher Rudolph Ackermann's work."
