Overall, a lovely copy in the original fragile wrappers. Housed in a custom folding box. Kirkpatrick A3b. Woolmer 7. Kew Gardens is a short story that was heavily influenced by the post-Impressionist style of art that was adopted by members the Bloomsbury Group. It was first published separately in May 1919 by Leonard and Virginia’s own Hogarth Press in an edition of 150 copies, bound in wallpaper wrappers which were supplied from Roger Fry’s Omega Workshops. This second edition was produced one month later using similar hand-painted wrappers in an edition of 500. The third separate edition (1927) was also limited to 500 copies, some being signed by both Virginia and Vanessa Bell. "Kew Gardens" was included among other short stories in Monday or Tuesday (1921), and in A Haunted House, published posthumously in 1944.

Woolf, Virginia. (Hogarth Press. Vanessa Bell). KEW GARDENS. Hogarth Press, Richmond, 1919.

Price: US$18775.00 + shipping

Description: Second Edition. Soft cover. Woolf, Virginia. KEW GARDENS. Richmond: Hogarth Press, 1919. Second Edition. (500 copies printed). 8vo. 16 pp. With two engravings by Vanessa Bell, in the original decorated wrappers, which have had some excellent edge restoration. White printed label to upper wrapper. Not in fact printed at, but for, the Hogarth Press by Richard Madley of Whitfield Street, possibly in consequence of Vanessa Bell's disappointment at the first edition's rendering of her interior art, which had, at 150 copies, been well enough subscribed to put forth a second. A lovely example. "Leonard Woolf thought that these wrappers were not from the Omega Workshops but were copied from the first edition by someone else". Kirkpatrick and Clarke A3b. Woolmer 7.
