About this copy
A charming pocket-sized anthology gathering the wise, luminous and often lyrical thoughts of John Ruskin, the great Victorian critic, art historian and social thinker. Henry Attwell's selection makes an ideal companion for dipping into on a train journey or a quiet evening, and Ruskin's writing on nature, beauty and conscience still reads with real freshness today. This copy is a delightful hardback in its original green cloth binding, decorated with gilt pansies and gilt title lettering.
It includes a frontispiece portrait of Ruskin and the George Allen Ruskin House device on the title page.
Condition
- Book
- Good - A sound, tightly bound copy with attractive gilt decoration to the boards. The cloth shows rubbing and soiling, the pages are toned with some foxing, and the spine ends show light wear.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
Collector's notes
- A pretty Edwardian pocket volume of Ruskin, with a frontispiece portrait.
- Published by George Allen, London, 1900.
- Pencilled ownership inscription to the front endpaper, dated 1921.
A lovely little volume, ready for its next reader.
