Ruskin usually refers collectively to the two companion publications The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott and The Prose Works of Sir Walter Scott, both illustrated with steel engravings after Turner. In Modern Painters I he considered that 'the plates of Miller (especially those of the Turner illustrations to Scott) are in most instances perfect and beautiful interpretations of the originals' ( MP I:169); but in 1878, preparing notes on his collection of Turner drawings, he thought that 'The illustrations to Scott and Byron were much more laboured [than those for Rogers's Italy and Rogers's Poems ], and are more or less artificial and unequal' ( Works, 13.445).
