Great Britain
John Ruskin (1819-1900)
Two parts of an autograph letter to an unknown correspondent, written by Ruskin, the last page signed by him with pen sketches requesting "a clean little wood drawing of No.6, the breadth of my letter page". The top half of the first page refers to "woodcuts...which were admirably made out and admirably done, only a little too fine, the elevation at least. All my woodcuts are for reference." On the reverse of each page are pencil sketches, one of a Fern case, with detailed notes. There is a note at the top of the first page in another hand referring to Smith & Elder, Ruskin's publishers (2)
