Trade Edition In Dustwrapper

[30752]
Woolf, Virginia. ORLANDO. The Hogarth Press, London, 1928. True First Trade Edition in the publisher's very uncommon
gilt-lettered, brownish-orange cloth covered boards [variant or
possibly advance copies were bound thus - the more common copies were
bound in vibrant orange cloth]. 8vo., 299pp. Eight Illustrations. A
very near fine or better copy in a beautiful example the very scarce
original dustwrapper; a couple of tiny closed tears neatly sealed
& a small amount of careful, professionally rendered archival
restoration primarily at the extremities of the spine & folds. A superior
lovely example seldom seen as such these days. Woolf's amazing
fictitious history of four centuries of transgender
"biography" about a mythical being named Orlando who starts
life as an Elizabethan nobleman who transforms into a woman poet of
vast social insight. Written for & inspired by, Vita
Sackville-West, to whom the book is dedicated & who appears as
Orlando at various life-stages in several of the book's photographs.
Considering Woolf's time, an extraordinarily courageous achievement in
English letters & fantastic literature. Described as the longest
love-letter ever written by Sackville's son, Sir Nigel Nicolson.
Kirkpatrick A1 1a. Woolmer 185. Basis for the splendid Sally Potter
1993 film starring Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane et al.
While
copies of the Orlando limited edition seem plentiful,
nice trade edition copies in dustwrapper are hard to find in
condition. Almost on a par with To The Lighthouse & Mrs. Dalloway
for difficulty. There are simply few in collectible condition about.
In
a custom TBCL black clamshell case with the "Wolf" Hogarth
Press wolf colophon raised on the upper cover in very fine condition.
