The Elements of Drawing
This is the newest art book in my collection. The Elements of Drawing by Ruskin. I think this is a first edition from 1865. I am excited to get started on this one but I have to finish The Elements of Compostion by Payne.
Nice Mike! But not a first edition. It happens that I have been reading a digital copy downloaded from the Gutenberg project where they explain: ["The Elements of Drawing" was written during the winter of 1856. The First Edition was published in 1857; the Second followed in the same year, with some additions and slight alterations. The Third Edition consisted of sixth thousand, 1859; seventh thousand, 1860; and eighth thousand, 1861.

A very lucid writer, don't you think?
