🌄🤩🌄 #Ruskin joined the Alpine Club in December 1869. He embodied its highest purpose perfectly: “better knowledge of the mountains through literature, science and art”. Tomorrow we follow that thread to the Club itself. #AlpineClubVisit

#Ruskin returned to the #Alps not to conquer summits but to understand them. He drew glaciers like the Mer de Glace with extraordinary geological precision, recording their form & movement. His works are now invaluable records of Alpine glacier loss. #AlpineClubVisit #Climate

#Ruskin deeply admired the Alpine guides & mountain families shaped by the high valleys. The Couttets were among Chamonix’s great guiding families. Joseph Marie Couttet reached the summit of #MontBlanc in 1821 and later guided Ruskin through the glacier world. #AlpineClubVisit

#Ruskin's Flora of Chamouni (1844; facsimile 2024) is an album of flowers he collected, pressed, & named around Chamonix. His 1882 study of a fringed gentian shows the lessons of the Alps never left him. The same patience, the same scientific precision. #Botany #AlpineClubVisit

#Ruskin also photographed the #Alps. In 1849, with his valet John Hobbs, he made Alpine daguerreotypes, including what is often credited as the 1st photo of the #Matterhorn. His daguerreotypes were rediscovered by Ken & Jenny Jacobson in Cumbria in 2006. #AlpineClubVisit

#Chamonix did not merely delight #Ruskin; it helped make him. The #Alps were his schoolroom long before they were his subject. His father complained that his son knew “the shape of every needle round Mont Blanc” but scarcely where Threadneedle Street was. #AlpineClubVisit
