"Design for a Conduit, Proposed at Ashridge, with Distant View of the Rosary and Monks Garden" is an illustration by the prominent English landscape gardener Humphry Repton, featured in his influential work "Fragments on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening," published in 1816. This publication is one of Repton's key texts, wherein he articulates his landscape design principles and showcases his projects through a series of essays and accompanying images known as 'Red Books'. Repton's Red Books were unique for their time, containing detailed watercolor illustrations with overlays to show 'before' and 'after' views of his proposed landscape improvements.

The specific design depicted in this illustration reflects Repton's approach to integrating practical elements with aesthetic considerations in the landscape. The conduit, a structure for conveying water, is designed not merely as a functional installation but as an ornamental feature that complements the surrounding gardens and landscape. The illustration provides a view of the proposed conduit within the context of Ashridge, an estate in Hertfordshire, England, which was one of Repton's significant commissions. The distant view of the Rosary and Monks Garden in the image further exemplifies Repton's skill in creating harmonious relationships between architectural features and the natural environment.

Repton's work at Ashridge is particularly notable for its scale and the comprehensive nature of his design interventions, which ranged from the layout of gardens and parklands to the architectural remodeling of the estate's house. "Design for a Conduit, Proposed at Ashridge, with Distant View of the Rosary and Monks Garden" serves as a testament to Repton's legacy as a pioneer of the English Landscape Movement and his influence on the development of landscape architecture as a discipline. The illustration, along with the text of "Fragments on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening," provides valuable insight into early 19th-century landscape design and Repton's innovative vision for the integration of art, nature, and utility.
