'When George Allen 1832-1907 joined John Ruskin's evening drawing classes at the Working Men's College in 1854 he was working as an apprentice carpenter for his uncle in Clerkenwell London. Enthused and encouraged by Ruskin who saw in him an "innate disposition to art" Allen declined employment with William Morris' decorative arts firm in order to devote himself to Ruskin's service as his assistant and most reliable engraver.
