Octavo. v, 128pp. The fourth book from the Kelmscott Press contains an introduction, initials, imprint device, and handsome white-vine floral border, all by Morris, and printed by him in his Golden type. Line-block diagrams throughout the text. Morris says in his introduction that Ruskin “has let a flood of daylight into the cloud of sham-technical twaddle which was once the substance of art-criticism.” Few faint spots to upper cover, one silk tie intact (the other three laid in), else a fine, bright copy in original full limp vellum with yapp edges. (Peterson A4).
