"Turner undertook a series of 12 marine mezzotints in collaboration with Thomas Lupton in 1820, and six plates were issued in three Parts between 1826 and 1828. But the relationship between Turner and Lupton was difficult, and ended before the complete series was issued; the whole set did not appear until after Turner's death, in the present edition by Gambart, with commentary on John Ruskin"--abebooks website.

"Turner's Harbors of England," as it is generally called, is a book which, for various reasons, has never received from readers of Mr. Ruskin's writings the attention it deserves. True, it has always been sought after by connoisseurs, and collectors never fail with their eleven or twelve guineas whenever a set of Artist's Proofs of the First Edition of 1856 comes into the market. But to the General Reader the book with its twelve exquisitely delicate mezzotints--four of which Mr. Ruskin has declared to be among the very finest executed by Turner from his marine subjects--is practically unknown. The primary reason for this neglect is not far to seek. Since 1877 no new edition of the work has been published, and thus it has gradually passed from public knowledge, though still regarded with lively interest by those to whom Mr. Ruskin's words--particularly words written in further unfolding of the subtleties of Turner's art--at all times appeal so strongly.
