Fors clavigera. Letters to the workmen and labourers of Great Britain
John Ruskin's serial of open letters to British workmen and labourers, issued from 1871 by George Allen at Orpington, Kent, arguing economics, art, and conduct for a general readership. The plates are soft pencil and tinted lithographic studies by Kate Greenaway of children and young women in high-waisted frocks, sashes, and deep bonnets, standing or walking against blank ground, useful for figure outlines, costume detail, and scattered rose motifs.
