Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. [Dora Carrington] Carrington illustrates: VERSES, LETTERS & REMEMBRANCES OF ARTHUR WALDERNE St. CLAIR TISDALL, V.C., Sub-Lieutenant, R.N.V.R., Scholar of Trinity College and Chancellor s Gold Medalist in the University of Cambridge, With a foreword by the Master of Trinity, London, Sidgewick & Jackson, 1916, privately printed though limitation not stated; blue cloth with spine label abraded (but fresh replacement copy tipped in at rear ready to glue on), else VG; 158 pp., with ten photos and TWO ILLUSTRATIONS BY DORA CARRINGTON plus a third line drawing which may well be by Carrington although not ascribed; this latter drawing is a whimsical one of Tisdall loading a lady s trunk ostensibly by the lady in question, but it looks too professional for that, so perhaps Carrington dressed it up a bit; Tisdall was awarded the Victoria Cross for heroism in rescuing the wounded on the beach at the Battle of Gallipoli and was shortly thereafter killed in an advance on Turkish lines in May, 1915. The book is a memorial volume with many reminiscences by his school friends at Bedford School and at Cambridge where Tisdall took several firsts and was regarded as a scholar as well as an athlete. The two attributed Carrington illustrations are noted in Bradshaw s Catalog at p.85; Carrington s first commission as Tisdall s mother ordered the drawings directly from Carrington (many years ago we handled the sale of the Carrington/Mrs. Tisdall correspondence concerning the drawings for this book); WorldCat shows 6 copies in USA plus some with the 1992 Military Library reprint; MOST RARE as we have not seen a copy for 10 years.

Two pages, cr. 8vo, fold marks, good condition. Text: "Your enquiry about woodcuts and bookplates made by my sister Dora Carrington for Lytton Strachey and others: You will find in the book on her Letters & Diaries edited by David Garnett (Cape 1970) and Paper Back OUP, several reproductions of her work in that medium, either for Hogarth Press, or for book plates for friends. It was John Nash who taught her, he himself being an experienced engraver. I have one of two original proofs but value them too highly to spare them. I also have a photo copy of several which I had made for reference which I could loan you if you are anxious, though it is not any use for reproduction. I gave some account of this & other crafts she took up in my book on her art [.]. | Your P.S. about a bookplate by Halsey Ricardo is something I do not recall. Lytton's library was left to his brother James and to Roger Senhouse. But all his brothers & sisters died some time ago. I believe the widow of his nephew, Dick Strachey, may have inherited some of the library [.]. | I am afraid that is all the help I can give you.".

One of only three hundred copies of the first edition of this collection of short stories by Leonard Woolf. Woolmer 16.Each of the three tales in the collection enforces Leonard's mistrust of colonialism, based upon his own experiences as a colonial administrator in Ceylon.Leonard and Virginia Woolf produced this collection through their own private press - The Hogarth Press - which they operated from their home, initially using a small handpress they purchased for £19 in 1917. The Woolfs favoured small print runs, focusing on experimental and modernist works, often setting type and hand-printing pages themselves in the early years.The front wrap features an illustration from Dora Carrington, an English painter and decorative artist, remembered for her association with members of the Bloomsbury Group, especially the writer Lytton Strachey.The Hogarth Press was known for its informal production style in its early years, allowing the Woolfs to maintain creative and financial control, publishing works outside the mainstream publishing industry.The press later grew into an influential modernist publishing house, issuing works by authors such as T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, and Sigmund Freud.With an advertisement leaf for further Hogarth Press works to the rear. In the publisher's original paper wraps, illustrated by Dora Carrington.

Hardcover. Dora Carrington (illustrator). First Edition. Dora Carrington. First Edition. Hardcover. Dora Carrington. Bookplate for Lytton Strachey. Circa 1931. Small. 1" by 3/4 " with the words Lytton Strachey in a plaque or cartouche with folded edges surrounded by net-like cross hatching in dark sepia tone. Stuck to a marbled board: 6 1/2" x 4". Carrington wrote of this bookplate in her diary (March 20 1931) rather prophetically:- 'As I stuck the book plates in with Lytton I suddenly thought of Sothebys and the book plates in some books I had looked at, when Lytton was bidding for a book and I thought: These books will one day be looked at by those gloomy faced booksellers and buyers. And suddenly a premonition of a day when these labels will no longer (be) in this library came over me. I longed to ask Lytton not to stick in any more.' Strachey died 10 months later.
