Royal octavo contemporary three-quarter tan calf raised bands brown and red morocco spine labels elaborately gilt-decorated spines. $3600.First edition of Ruskins famous survey of the Gothic architectural style illustrated with 53 full-page mezzotints and lithographs many hand-colored and numerous in-text wood-engraved diagrams and architectural details.""A strange unexpected and I believe most true and excellent sermon in Stonesas well as the best piece of schoolmastery in architectonics"" Carlyle. With its insistence upon a functional architecture Ruskin's survey of the Southern Gothic style solidified his position as one of the most influential aesthetes of the Victorian era. ""The Stones of Venice along with Ruskin's Seven Lamps of Architecture 1849 had immediate effects on the Gothic Revival of the High Victorian period and on the Arts and Crafts movement that followed in England. His influence during his lifetime is evident in contemporary buildings throughout Britain and beyond from India to the United States. His work later helped form the views of among others Henry van de Velde Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Gropius"" and contains what is ""perhaps Ruskin's most potent writing his celebrated chapter on 'The Nature of Gothic' in which he praises the craftsman as designer"" Avery 265.

The Elements of Drawing; in Three Letters to Beginners. With Illustrations drawn by the Author. THE ORIGINAL EDITION WITH FRAUDULENT BRANTWOOD BOOKPLATE
Smith Elder 1857. 8vo. First Edition with 48 illustrations 3 full-page in the text; original dark-green pebble-grain cloth BY WESTLEYS boards elaborately blocked in blind gilt back primrose endpapers uncut small repair at headband else a very good bright crisp copy in HANDSOME CUSTOM-MADE DARK GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO SOLANDER CASE WITH MARBLED LINERS. Complete with 16pp publisher's catalogue dated June 1857 bound in at end and Westleys' binder's ticket on rear paste-down. First edition of Ruskin's drawing lessons for children. Intended for those without recourse to a drawing-master it provides a series of eminently practical exercises supported by illustrations. Ruskin was always greatly interested in the teaching of art; perhaps his most famous pupil was Alice Liddell Carroll's 'Alice' to whom he taught drawing and painting as a result of which he appears in 'Alice in Wonderland' as the 'Drawing Master' an 'old Conger Eel' who attended 'once a week' and 'taught us Drawling Stretching and Fainting in Coils'. Ruskin's lifelong love of the English Lakes began when he sat by Coniston at the age of eighteen but it was not until his early fifties that he finally purchased Brantwood one of the most splendid houses in the Lake District. Although he had not seen the interior he reasoned that any house opposite Coniston 'must be beautiful' and in 1871 secured the freehold from William Linton for the sum of £1500. He moved in a year later and the house became not merely a blissfully happy home but a renowned centre of artistic and literary endeavour for Ruskin and his circle. Brantwood remains today a place of pilgrimage for admirers and scholars of one of the greatest Victorian polymaths. THIS COPY HAS A BOOKPLATE READING 'EX LIBRIS JOHN RUSKIN BRANTWOOD' ON FRONT PASTE-DOWN. THIS BOOKPLATE HAS BEEN SHOWN BY J.S. DEARDEN 'Facets of Ruskin 1970 TO BE FRAUDULENT. WHILST THIS COPY IN UNQUESTIONABLY A FIRST ISSUE OF THE WORK THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT ITS PROVENANCE INCLUDES EITHER RUSKIN OR BRANTWOOD. Smith, Elder, hardcover
