About This Item
1849 1ed Seven Lamps of Architecture John Ruskin Illustrated ART Sketches
John Ruskin was an 18th-century art critic and writer who published a number of works on architecture, literature, and art. His most notable work was perhaps 'The Seven Lamps of Architecture', an essay devoted to the principles of architecture. In this work, Ruskin notes the seven most important aspects, or 'lamps', of architecture – sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory, and obedience.
This rare first edition features sketches and illustrations drawn by Ruskin himself.
