Photograph of Ruskin's Drawing of Turner's "Okehampton, Devonshire" anonymous British
-
Curator’s description:
Description
According to Cook and Wedderburn (XXI.305), the Supplementary Cabinet was 'a cabinet which Ruskin placed in the School but did not fill'; the examples which they listed were placed there shortly before their catalogue was published in 1906.
Although listed by Cook and Wedderburn as a drawing, this is clearly a photograph.
