The Mineral World of John Ruskin

Reference: 3019

Most people will have heard of John Ruskin (1819-1900) in his role as an art critic, reformer and writer. There was another passion in his life - his love of minerals. Roy's book brings this previously neglected facet of his life to centre stage, detailing his mineral collection and how the form, texture and colour of minerals fascinated him. Beautifully illustrated and well researched, this book is an outstanding read for both scholars of Ruskin and collectors of minerals.
