Hardcover. Condición: Very Good-. No Jacket. First Edition. Green cloth; gilt cover decorations, title, and spine decorated endpapers. Spine title reads "THE OLD WATERWHEEL AND OTHER POEMS," while title page simply reads "Poems by John Ruskin." Frontispiece etching of "The Old Water Wheel" signed "Calahan." The Preface states th…at "[i]t must be remembered that all of Ruskin's verse-making was confined to his youthful days. . .The first poem, 'Saltzburg,' was written in the author's sixteenth year, the last 'The Glacier' but eleven years later." Although most of Ruskin's poetry was published in British annuals, this book was only the second publication containing the complete collection, following the author's privately-printed, limited, 1850 edition. Moderate-to-heavy rubbing of cover extremities, with light fraying to cloth at spine edges. Light bumps to lower edges of boards. Light scuffing to rear board. Small prior private owner bookplate affixed to inside front cover. Clean and tight.
