With portrait frontispiece in color and other illustrations. One of 35 copies on Japanese vellum, numbered and signed by the publisher. Inserted in Volume II is a two-page letter from Ruskin to his engraver, Le Keux, about some work in hand. Le Keux was considered one of the best engravers of his time and Ruskin employed him extensively. A very nice copy.\r
