Charmoz

Chamnoy is a misreading in the Ruskin Library Transcript T7A of Ruskin’s writing. Ruskin wrote Charmoz, and the reference is to the Aiguille des Grands Charmoz in the Massif du Mont Blanc. See the ‘Catalogue of Sketches in neighbourhood of Mont Blanc’ reprinted from Ruskin’s Diary of 1854 at Works, 5.xxi [n/a] , and the discussion of the problems of seeing it and drawing it at Works, 6.234 and following [n/a]. The passage includes comments at Works, 6.237 [n/a] on Turner’s drawing of it.
