FIRST EDITION, a couple of small pencil notes, the textblock slightly open at head of title-page, pp. 256, 8 [Publisher's list], foolscap 8vo, original green cloth, rebacked preserving the majority of the original backstrip, some light wear at corners, top edge green, recased with new endpapers, the original flyleaf laid down (see below), fair. Inscribed by the author on the original flyleaf: 'Barbara, from Lytton, June 1916'. The recipient was then Barbara Hiles (later Bagenal), an artist-friend of Carrington from the Slade, alongside whom she was venturing into the circle of the 'Bloomsberries'. This inscription dates from the early months of their acquaintance. A scarce book, the author's debut - on the title-page, he is styled as a 'Sometime Scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge'. It is prone to the defects in condition that have affected this copy, but crucially it retains the association with the Bloomsbury Group and with Carrington. Seller Inventory # 74843
