Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf
First American edition, first printing of Woolf's classic modernist novel, detailing a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional upper-class woman in post-First World War England. In an early dust jacket with the iconic Vanessa Bell design, this jacket presumably from 1927 with reviews for To the Lighthouse. Scarce with any dust jacket from this period.
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1927. Publisher's original orange cloth, white paper label to spine printed in brown; pp. (vi), 296. A very good copy in a very good, unclipped ($2.50) dust jacket. Binding remains sturdy, boards show light toning and soiling, faint scattered splashes to spine, internally clean. Jacket is vibrant, showing light general shelfwear, toning to spine, reinforced with archival tissue to verso. Presents well, protected in archival mylar.
