Ruskin (John, art critic and social critic, 1819-1900) Autograph Letter signed to his Mother, 2½p., 8vo, Winnington, [Cheshire], 22nd May [c. ?1860s], describing a dance at Winnington School in which he had been involved with his young friend Lily Armstrong, "They opened [at Winnington School] a new playroom yesterday which Miss Bell has just roofed in for them and the little ones had determined to wait for me to have the first game with them in it. So we began with a grand game of cat and mouse - and then at dropping the handkerchief - and then we had Irish quadrilles - which end with a wonderful dance in a labyrinth of rings, and as I was to have Lily for partner I put my coat on a wrong side before to look like an Irishman; Lily highly approved of this arrangement... Lily at last pulled it off me altogether and put it on herself over her frock and tied her hair up in a hard knot and then we had an Irish quadrille to purpose - till I had no more breath left", folds, slightly browned.⁂ Ruskin first met Lily Armstrong when she was a 12-year-old schoolgirl at Winnington, the girls' boarding-school in Cheshire run by the financially inept Margaret Alexis Bell with considerable interest and assistance from Ruskin himself. He was a regular visitor to the school, where he not only proceeded with his own writing but joined in games and dancing with the girls. His friendship with Lily lasted long beyond her schooldays and after her marriage, and was evidently deeply affectionate on both sides.

Colour-Printing.- Savage (William) Practical Hints on Decorative Printing, [one of 227 copies], colour-printed frontispiece, additional decorative title printed in gold with border in colours, letterpress title in red & black with decorative border, list of subscribers, dedication with coat-of-arms in colours, 6 colour-printed decorative head-pieces and 49 wood-engraved plates, most printed in colours, a few uncoloured printed on india paper and mounted, including 9 defaced plates on 5 sheets at end (4 printed on both sides), a little foxing and light water-staining, mostly marginal, contemporary calf, covers with large recessed hexagonal panel and elaborately stamped in blind, rubbed and slightly stained, upper joint split, [Abbey Life 233], 4to, for the proprietor, 1822.⁂ Important work on colour-printing with the plates "printed from wood blocks, but some in bright tints instead of the neutral shades affected by the old school of chiaroscurists. The tints are achieved by Savage's important discovery of making printing ink without any oil, and therefore more suitable for artistic purposes...The colour prints proper were produced by impressions from two up to as many as twenty-nine blocks." AbbeyThe plates include type-specimens, an ornamental letter printed in gold, 6 sheets of colour swatches, and plates of printing presses, antiquities, landscape views and natural history. Copies appear to vary slightly according to the number of plates. Although this copy has 4 plates of 'Female Street- Sweeper & Child', in 3 different colour separations and one with two colours, it lacks the plate with all three colours. Abbey also calls for 2 plates of Clymer's Columbian Press, one lettered and one unlettered; this copy does not contain the unlettered plate.
