More Description

This volume comes as an important addition to the extensive scholarship on the Bloomsbury Group. For the first time all the woodcuts, lithographs, etchings and other prints created by Vanessa Bell, Dora Carrington, Roger Fry and Duncan Grant are catalogued with numerous colour and black-and-white reproductions.In addition, the many book jackets (principally but not exclusively for the Hogarth Press, the publishing business started by Leonard and Virginia Woolf) are included. Consequently all the multiples (some 200 in total) created by the Bloomsbury artists are listed. The book closes with an ephemera section detailing trade cards, invitations, catalogue covers and bookplates devised by these wide-ranging artists.Carefully catalogued, and with most of the entries illustrated in either colour or in black and white (a number to the original size), this book provides a treasure trove for the large and enthusiastic audience keenly interested in the art and literature of the Bloomsbury Group. In adition, the catalogue is a valuable reference work for university and art historical libraries.
