An excellent copy of John Ruskins autobiography in two volumes, bound from the originalfirst edition partsin full morocco. This copy includesall thetitle pages and the rose illustration as issued. Ruskin was one of the most influential figures of 19th century Britain. In this extraordinary memoir he covers the interests that made him renowned: art, politics, architecture, and travel. He also describes a childhood afflicted by the severe moralities of the day,alongside his own intellectual development. Written in between attacks of illness in the 1880s, the Praeterita give the reader a glimpse into the mind of the great man in his difficult later years. It was Ruskins last great work before the development of Impressionism finally sundered him from artistic modernity.

Also included are advice slips from the publisher, helping the reader understand the organisation of the work. This copy includes a binder's stamp to the front free endpaper: J.

Externally both volumes in excellent condition, with only very minor rubbing to the extremities of the boards and to the head and tail of the spines. There is one mark to the rear board of volume 2. The fore-edges are a little dirty due to being untrimmed. Internally there is some offsetting from the frontispiece. Otherwise clean and bright throughout. Firmly bound. Overall: NEAR FINE..
