- Scope and Content:
- Ruskin asks Lupton to "kindly compare [the] enclosed etching with drawing, and give it to Boys with directions as to the way you would like it bitten..." He follows with further specifications about the biting of the plate, which he wishes to be done in such a way as to allow him to make a low toned mezzotint. He asks Lupton to have Boys finish this plate before one entitled "Nottingham," and tells him that he will bring Mr Cousins's check when he next calls. Ruskin mentions that he is writing to his publishers to have a copy of <emph render="italic">Stones of Venice</emph> sent to Lupton. The "Nottingham" image would be published in the fourth volume of <emph render="italic">Modern Painters</emph>.
