Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
154. (154) 160. CrowhurstThis unpublished Plate, seen here in its finest state, is the most elaborate piece of work which Turner gave to wood scenery in the Liber. He seems R.Crowhurst to have meant to make it extremely beautiful and the record of a most solemn impression on his own mind from the Downs of Sussex, under light-falling snow with heavier storm coming on in twilight. The brown colour, however, of the engraving defeats his purpose: but the study is full of passages with which all students of English Landscape are so familiar that I take it for the most perfect introduction to all the following variety of English Scenes in the Book itself. It must represent all of them here, for we have only Fifteen more subjects to divide between Scotland and Switzerland, having already given ten to England.
