John Claudius Loudon

John Claudius Loudon, born in 1783, was one of those early nineteenth century Titans for whom work was a hobby, or an obsession. Largely self-educated, he was primarily a horticulturist and landscape gardener, producing encyclopaedias on Gardening, Agriculture and Plants before he began one on Architecture in 1832 which was published in 1833.
