WOOLF (VIRGINIA)
Footnotes
SCARCE broadside printing of an extract from 'The Mark on the Wall', illustrated with two woodcuts by Vanessa Bell. The piece first appeared in Two Stories (1917), the first title issued by the Hogarth Press. Little is known about the present printing of this extract, and "it is unclear whether the broadside was meant as an art piece for sale in the Chelsea Book Club, or if it was an advertisement for either the shop or for Woolf's writing" (Emily McGinn et al, 'Comparing Marks: A Versioning Edition of Virginia Woolf's "The Mark on the Wall"', The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing, vol. 24, 2014, online). Kirkpatrick suggests that it may have been printed by John Rodker, founder of the Ovid Press, who lived at 43 Belsize Park from 1920-1923. The last copy traced at auction was in 1987.
