Claude Chimérique’s ‘account’ of Studley Royal, c. 1780, presents the landscape garden as a metaphor of imperial conquest during the Seven Years War
Illustration by Ian Gardner (Cover). The text, by Claude Chimérique, a.k.a. Patrick Eyres (including 2 maps), is an affectionate and tongue-in-cheek pastiche of 18th-century garden tours, collaged from the accounts of Studley by Arthur Young and William Gilpin, to float a speculative iconography!
