RUSKIN, JOHN.

The Seven Lamps of Architecture.

London George Allen, Sunnyside, Orpington 1898 12mo. xviii pp., (1) ff., 440 pp. The seventh edition in small form. With fourteen plates drawn by the author. An important treatise that spurred the Gothic Revival in architecture by one of the leading critic-art historians of the day. This copy is believed to have been the copy of T. J. Cobden-Sanderson's son Richard, always known as Dickie, whose parents had hoped would take an active interest in the Press. The full blue navy morocco binding bears distinctive Doves Bindery trademarks, but is not signed, indicating that the book was probably intended as a copy to remain in the family hors commerce. Title and date (1898) in gilt to the spine, which is in six compartments. A.e.g. Extremities on spine rubbed, sunning to spine and a faint crease down its center, else about fine.
