ATTRIBUTED TO SIR CHARLES BARRY (1795-1860) TWO ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS one entitled Barry`s plans for new Chatsworth by a later hand on the support sheet and inscribed Plans of the improvements at Chatsworth - 1 new dining room, and museums 2- covered walk to back to the new Dairy 3- Architectural walk to hide the offices 4- New Lodge/ The court is to be opened on this side to give a view of the river/ The railing gilt at top in ink, 14 x 21.5cm.; with another, entitled Barry`s for rebuilding Devonshire Cottage (sic) by the later hand, 9.5 x 12cm., unframed * Sir Jeffrey Wyatville was the architect of the extensions to Chatsworth at intervals between 1820 and 1841. Barry does not apear to have any documented connection with Chatsworth but the sketches would suggest that the 6th Duke of Devonshire at least consulted him. The principal sketch appears to show the long wing that Wyatt added from 1818 and completed in the 1830s but it does not show the theatre that Wyatville added in 1833. The reference to a new dining room gives a suggested date of the mid-1820s, as Wyatville`s dining room was added in the late 1820s. The reference to Devonshire Cottage is more osbcure as it does not feature in any indexes, including the 6th Duke`s biography. We are very grateful to Charles Hind FSA, the H.J. Heinz Curator of Drawings at The Royal Institute of British Architects for his assistance with this lot. ++ The principal drawing creased where formerly folded; support sheet creased

RUSKIN JOHN: (1819-1900) English Critic & Author. A good A.L.S., J Ruskin, three pages, 8vo, Brantwood, Coniston, Lancashire, 13th July 1881, to T.L. Worthington. Ruskin states that he has been pleased to receive his correspondent's candid and earnest letter and continues 'Learn first, to know what good wrought metal work in gold, silver and iron is. As soon as you do, you will hate the sight of a cast iron ornament of any kind or for any purpose, as you would hate the sight of a skeleton or a bit of dead body.' The critic further comments 'There is a further curse on it in these days, that commission is paid on it to an utterly ignorant manufacturer....and further that you keep men capable of doing good work in the upper-world hell of the iron foundry.' Ruskin further urges Worthington to change his plans, 'Put logs, bricks, broken bottles-slag from the foundry heaps-for your wall if you like! But not cast iron (or cast anything) ornaments' and in concluding remarks 'I write, necessarily, what must seem to you unreasonable...But the reason of my forty years thought is in it.' In a postscript Ruskin writes 'Nothing is so bad, also for the public taste, as having its desire for beauty spuriously and cheaply met...' and pens a quotation for his correspondent, 'Build nothing-or build well/ Carve nothing-or carve well/ Say nothing-or say well/ Do nothing-or do well'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Ruskin. Also included is a contemporary holograph copy of Worthington's original letter to Ruskin in which he states he wishes to be an architect and seeks Ruskin's advice over placing a railing around a college, adding that cast iron railings of a true asthetic form must be used to meet the budget and asking 'Are those railings simply bad because they are made by machinery? Has their design changed now they are made of cast iron? Is it not better to put up this cast iron railing, the design being truly good, than to put up a straight brick wall? Won't it do the public more good to look at the railing than at the monotonous brick wall?' Some very light staining to the final page of Ruskin's letter caused by previous mounting, only very slightly affecting the text. Otherwise VG, 2
