Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto & Windus, 1929. Octavo. Plum pebble cloth, gilt spine lettering within decorative border. 275 pp. Dora Carrington designed (and placed) bookplate for Lytton Strachey, and pencil notation for personal library placement on front pastedown. Spots along fore-edge, spine sunned, else very good in a very good, dusty dust jacket. From the collection of William Beekman.
First edition. David Garnett was an intimate friend to both Carrington and Strachey. The bookplate designed by Carrington for Strachey, ca. 1929-31, is printed in black bearing the legend "Lytton Strachey" set on a rococo cartouche with folded edges, against a trellised background, approx. 1 x 3/4 in. Carrington wrote of this bookplate in her diary, 20 March 1931, "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, and Carrington herself not long after. This gloomy faced bookseller found some joy in seeing this bookplate pasted in this book by not only a friend of the author, but by the bookplate's creator herself.
