Description

ALS signed “J. Ruskin,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, no date. Letter to Henry Watson, in full: "Many thanks for the extract. I am sure the description of the scene is true, and it must have been very lovely, but there is no need to go to Siberia to see pretty things, and it is hard upon me to be called upon by the author to 'acknowledge' what I have been asserting as lovely as I could these twenty years—namely that nature out Turners Turner. But I'm glad that people begin to think of Turner and me in fine scenery." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original envelope addressed in Ruskin's hand.
