Ariadne florentina; six lectures on wood and metal engraving, with appendix; given before the University of Oxford in Michaelmas term, 1872.
Six lectures by John Ruskin on wood and metal engraving, delivered at Oxford in 1872 and reissued in New York in 1892 for students of art history and technique. Plates reproduce early Italian and German prints — sibyls with lettered tablets and banderoles, robed figures, Holbein-style Death scenes — in hard outline and dense hatching useful for line texture and drapery studies.
