Lady Amabel and Landscape Ornament at The Grove, Hertfordshire

Lady Amabel Yorke was the elder daughter of Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke, and his wife Jemima Campbell, 2nd Marchioness Grey, 4th Baroness Lucas. Their family seats were Wrest Park, Bedfordshire, and Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire, both of which had parks that were remodelled by Capability Brown with Amabel being privy to the design decisions. She was, then, rather well-informed on matters…

Ten years ago I doodled a few comics featuring this fellow, but I didn't show them to anyone because I figured "What if 18th century landscape architect Capability Brown were basically an Addams?" was a concept only I would find funny. I've decided to resurrect him and unleash him on the world!
