Peel Harbour (Leaf from a Sketch-Book of Manx Scenes)
-
Curator’s description:
Description
This drawing was not catalogued explicitly by Ruskin, although it must be one of the 'series of pencil sketches in the Isle of Man' listed as being in the Long Cabinet by Cook and Wedderburn (XXI.306). The imprecision of Cook and Wedderburn's description of the cabinet mean that it has been given an arbitrary number within the cabinet for the purposes of the current catalogue.
