拍品專文

Ruskin often dated his drawings much later on, sometimes inaccurately. The present drawing was executed on a visit to Edinburgh in August 1838 and is one of about seven known drawings of the city. The present drawing may be the vignette which Ruskin had photographed with the intention of reproducing it in Praeterita, a plan which he eventually abandoned.
