To tie in with the opening of the National Library of Scotland's new display ‘Images of Italy, 1480-1900’, Professor Sandra Kemp, Director of The Ruskin Museum and Research Centre at Lancaster University, will give a talk on the extraordinarily detailed work Ruskin took with daguerreotype photography between 1845 and 1858, described at the time as "the most marvellous invention of the century".
To book a free ticket for the event, held at the Library's George IV Bridge building in Edinburgh from 17.30-18.30 on 16 May, please follow this link.
Please note that the talk will not be available online.
