lxxxviii INTRODUCTION

The other Plates, Nos. XVIII., XIX., XX., and XXI., are photogravures from drawings by Turner in the Farnley Collection. They are referred to below (pp. 374, 377, 386), and are not so well known from reproductions as many of the artist’s works.

The last Plate, No. XXII., shows the window in the church of St. Giles, Camberwell, which was partly designed by Ruskin, as explained above (p. lxiv.) in the account of the Letters on Painted Glass.

For the Lectures on Colour and Illumination Ruskin prepared numerous illustrations, including several enlargements of initial letters in manuscripts. From six of these, illustrations have been prepared on a reduced scale. Figures 25, 27, and 30 are printed from woodcuts by Mr. W. H. Hooper.

Finally, four facsimiles of Ruskin’s manuscript are given. The first (p. xxiv.) is of a letter to Dr. Furnivall from Glenfinlas in 1853, and includes a rough sketch of Ruskin’s cottage there; the second is a page of the MS. of the Edinburgh Lectures (p. 128); the third, of a page of the MS. of Pre-Raphaelitism (p. 392); and the fourth, of a page from The Opening of the Crystal Palace (p. 429).
