Jacob’s Room – £85,000 from Peter Harrington.
A first-edition presentation copy of Jacob’s Room (1922) by Virginia Woolf bearing an inscription to her sister Vanessa Bell is on offer for £85,000 at Peter Harrington’s exhibition In Her Own Words: Works by Exceptional Women.
Bell, an artist and fellow member of the Bloomsbury Group, had designed the dust jacket for the volume, and though Jacob’s Room does not carry a formal dedication, the collaboration between the sisters means it can be considered a dedication copy.
