The Stones of Venice was a three-volume treatise on Venetianart and architecture by English art historian John Ruskin, published from 1851to 1853. The book examinesVenetian architecture in detail, describing for example over eighty churches.He discusses architecture of Venice\'s Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissanceperiods, and provides a general history of the city.

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, a prominent social thinker and philanthropist. He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy.

James Charles Armytage (1802-1897) was an English engraver of the 19th century. He produced over 200 plates. He was and lived in London his entire life.

I will send a combined invoice reflecting your savings. The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
