Lancelot Brown and the Capability Men - Landscape Revolution in Eighteenth-Century England

This book investigates the nature and organization of Brown’s business, and draws comparisons with similar providers of ‘taste’ such as the Adam brothers, Thomas Chippendale and Josiah Wedgwood. Illustrated with over 120 images, this book shows that Brown’s style, like the organization of his business, was the product of a distinctly modern world.
