[Charles Agvent]

RUSKIN, John. THE STONES OF VENICE. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1874. 
New Edition. Three large octavo (7" x 10-1/4") volumes in the 
publisher's brown blindstamped and gilt-decorated cloth. One of 1500 
copies SIGNED by the author at the end of the preface. Illustrated with 
62 plates, many in color, and drawings in the text by the author. First 
published about 20 years before this attractive, SIGNED edition, it is 
one of the key texts of the aesthetic movement. Scattered light foxing, 
most pages and plates clean. Front cover of first volume just slightly 
loose, but generally the volumes are tightly bound. Some rubbing to 
cloth with small spots of loss to first volume. Very Good or better.
