The teaching collection of works on paper used by John Ruskin, Slade Professor of Art at Oxford, has been reassembled on the internet, and will be explorable from 20 October. The 1,464 pieces, including prints by Durer and watercolours by Turner and Burne-Jones as well as Ruskin himself (his Crab, right), are significant not only for their individual qualities but also as a collection. However, although each piece appears in the general catalogues of the Ashmolean and Ruskin School libraries, until now the collection had no catalogue of its own. Registration requires contact with Dr Rupert Shepherd, rupert.shepherd@ashmus.ox.ac.uk.
