The copy of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway sold by the Cotswold Auction Company for £18,000.
A copy of the 1925, Hogarth Press first of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway attracted a great deal of competition in a Cotswold Auction Company (20% buyer’s premium) sale of October 3 and finally sold at £18,000.
Much of the appeal lay in the fact that this copy had retained the dust jacket – designed by the writer’s sister, Vanessa Bell – that is so often lacking.
