In March 1873 he accompanied Princess Alice of Great Britain and Ireland , the second daughter of Queen Victoria and later Grand Duchess of Hesse and the Rhine, on her trip to Italy in 1873 to Florence and Rome. Alice writes to her mother on February 19, 1873: "The Grand Duke of Weimar has kindly allowed Mr. Ruland to accompany us as Cicerone, which is very necessary for collections of paintings, etc."
An anatomical drawing by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), of which all other motifs are in the possession of the English royal family in the library of Windsor Castle , could have reached the Weimar collection of Italian masters via Ruland .
