Parks

SOURCE: L. de Zanth. La Wilhelma, villa mauresque de S.M. le roi de Wurtemberg (Paris, 1855), pl. 3 NOTES: This complex was designed by Zanth for King Wilhelm I of Wurttemberg as a private retreat. Originally planned as a bathhouse over a mineral spring, the design expanded to become living quarters with attached glasshouses (known as the Moorish Villa). This was connected in 1851 via covered walkways to the Moorish Banqueting Hall, since demolished after severe wartime damage. Today Wilhelma is the zoological and botanical gardens of Stuttgart and the Moorish Villa is a combined animal and plant house.

SOURCE: Humphry Repton. Fragments on the theory and practice of landscape gardening (London, 1816), facing p. 122 NOTES: The house was completed by 1580, while the park was laid out by Capability Brown in the 18th century. The aquatint plates in the book are almost certainly all engraved from drawings made by Humphry Repton or his son, John Adey Repton.

SOURCE: William Robertson. Designs in architecture, for garden chairs, small gates for villas, park entrances, aviarys, temples, boat houses, mausoleums, and bridges (London, 1800), pl. 6 NOTES: This plate is actually dated 1820. This is because this copy of the book is a later reprint of the original volume. The plates dated 1800 are probably the ones that were reprinted unaltered.

NOTES: This drawing is by an unidentified 19th century English architect.
