RUSKIN, John (1819-1900). Lettre autographe signée. Sans lieu, ni date.

Lettre autographe signée du poète britannique demandant un livre de botanique.
"Baxter's book is only named because many families have it. Get any eighteen penny or half crown book with outlines of plants. There are literally hundreds of such at the railroad bookstalls and child's book shops. Don't be discouraged by the squares. You'll find they can be broken - and are not like British infantry in any ways. Truly yours, Ruskin"

1 page in-12 (175 x 115 mm), sur un double feuillet de papier à filigrane "Joynson 1856". Pliures anciennes.

Group of two inscribed copies of books by Ruskin translated by Proust.
