John Ruskin’s writings on architecture and art, headed by his enormously influential Seven Lamps of Architecture, first published in 1849. Organized by his architectural philosophy around the seven “lamps” of Sacrifice, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Memory, and Obedience, arguing for architecture as an expression of moral, social, and spiritual values rather than merely technical design.

An attractive period edition of one of the foundational works of 19th century architectural criticism.
