Footnotes

A sheet of paper attached to the reverse of the frame reads: 'John Ruskin was a life-long friend of my Great Uncle Valentine Faithfull. My Great Uncle's daughter, Clara Rebecca (afterwards my very dear stepmother) was at school with Effie Grey who married Ruskin, unwisely, and ran away later with Sir John Millais who was painting her portrait. Ruskin made this little sketch of my stepmother's pet dog for her in the drawing room in Moray Place, Edinbro'
