About this ebook
In the three volumes of The Stones of Venice (1851-1853) Ruskin championed the Gothic style of architecture. “Written for the Help of the Few Travellers Who Still Care for Her Monuments,” this 1877 volume, intended as a sequel, continues the influential critic’s love affair with one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
