1899002588Philadelphia PA: Reuwee Wattley & Walsh 1899. Approx 1220pp/illus - This three-volume set is arguably the pinnacle of Ruskin's 1819-1900 work. He was recognised from an early age as a prodigy and became one of the leading art critics and social commentators of his day. "In The Stones of Venice " according to The Armitt Gallery Museum and Library website's biography of him "he recorded in lyrical prose the architectural decoration that he felt was in danger of extinction. Ruskin believed that the beauty of medieval architecture arose from the pleasure the workman took in his craft a view which William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement took up and developed." Copy #186 of 250. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Limited Numbered Copy. Reuwee, Wattley & Walsh hardcover
