Information

This book was produced by George Allen, the company who published many of Ruskin's later books and lectures, and the complete library edition of his works. It was published in 1895, five years before Ruskin's death. It is a collection of writings by Ruskin supported by photo-engravings after works by various artists in the Ruskin Museum in Sheffield. It also includes a preface by William White. This copy of the book appears to be a proof copy as it is unbound and the pages are uncut.
