CONDITION
In overall good condition. The binding is in firm condition although the inner front board hinge seems cracked but holding well. There are some general scuffs, marks and knocks to the binding and some light rubbing of hinges and bumping to board corners.

Overall, a nicely bound volume in good condition.
INTERESTING
John Ruskin (1819 to 1900) was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, philosopher, prominent social thinker and philanthropist. He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy. His writing styles and literary forms were equally varied. He wrote essays and treatises, poetry and lectures, travel guides and manuals, letters and even a fairy tale. He also made detailed sketches and paintings of rocks, plants, birds, landscapes, and architectural structures and ornamentation.
Though he made his career as an art historian, Ruskin was passionately interested in politics and social change. In Time and Tide, Ruskin pens a series of letters, to a cork-cutter in the north of England took place during "the agitation for reform". Ruskin's hope was to inspire workers to cooperate and lobby for reform.
