A wash drawing, forming the frontispiece to Repton's Designs for Brighton Pavilion. Repton's printed tradecard is pasted at the centre. Around it are the tools of his business: surveying equipment, rakes, a spade, pick axes, a watering can and an artist's palette with brushes. Below, is a quotation from Edmund Burke's A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757): 'Designs that are vast only by their dimensions, are always the sign of a common and low imagination. No work of art can be great, but as it deceives[;] to be otherwise is the prerogative of nature only'. Above, Winter as an old man warming his hands at a brazier and Flora garlanding a pedestal surmounted with Prince of Wales's feathers.

This drawing is part of Repton's Red Book for Brighton Pavilion (970493) submitted to George, Prince of Wales (later George IV) in 1806.
