Modern painters
Modern Painters is a 1903 London art-criticism volume by John Ruskin, edited by Lionel Cust, issued by G. Allen and aimed at readers of painting and aesthetics. Its plates are reproductions of landscape paintings and drawings, several printed sideways on the page, with captions and artist credits along the margins. A designer might take from them the tonal range of mountain and cliff scenes, the windswept trees, and the layered, atmospheric depth of early nineteenth-century landscape work.
