Limited to an edition of 75 copies, of which a maximum of 61 available for sale. The volume includes a signed introduction by the current Duke of Bedford and a colophon and it is housed in a slipcase in matching dark red cloth and lined with soft suede. Presented with a copy of "Humphry Repton and the Russell Family Featuring the Red Books for Woburn Abbey and Endsleigh, Devon" by Keir Davidson. When John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford (1766-1839), invited Repton to prepare landscape designs for Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, Repton had no other commissions on the horizon. The importance of obtaining the Duke's approval for his designs is reflected in the Red Book he produced: it is one of the largest (552 x 423mm) and most carefully designed. Repton's hopes were high and ultimately successful. The Repton landscape at Woburn Abbey is gradually being restored and will become one of the best surviving examples of his works when the restorations are completed in 2025. Repton's work for the Russells is dominated by his time at Woburn Abbey but the family were in fact patrons of his most varied commissions ranging from a small family home at Oakley, near Bedford, Russell Square, London, buildings in the centre of Tavistock, Devon and a cottage orn� (or decorative cottage) at nearby Endsleigh.
