Proposed plan for 'THE GARDENS OF THE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, INNER CIRCLE, REGENT'S PARK.'

One page. On wove paper roughly eleven inches by nine wide. Dimensions of image roughly five and a half inches by six and a quarter wide. Good clear image on aged paper with slight wear to extremities. Attractive representation, above initialed key describing twenty-seven of the Gardens' features ('G. - Medico Botanic Garden, with extensive range of Conservatories, Stoves and Hot-houses', 'J. - Rosarium - a level lawn, with arched trellis work, and borders for every kind of rose', 'M. - American Garden', 'N. - Lake for aquatic plants, and small islands for the willow, and other plants requiring moist localities', etc.) Whether Laxton's designs were employed is unclear: a print exists of a competing plan by Decimus Burton, architect of the Park's Holme villa. Apparently scarce: Copac only lists a larger coloured version held by the Wellcome Institute Library.
