<div dir="ltr">I saw the show last week and was captivated. I particularly enjoyed the section on Woolf and public transport!<div><br></div><div>That said, there was a glaring, dismaying mistake in one of the captions. Under a first edition of <i>Ulysses,</i> Harriet Shaw Weaver is identified as the "owner of the Shakespeare & Company bookshop in Paris" who approached the Hogarth Press about publishing the full book. Of course Weaver was the editor of <i>The Egoist</i>, who serialized <i>Ulysses</i> and yes approached the Woolfs. Sylvia Beach was the owner of Shakespeare & Company, who finally published the book herself, at great personal expense, and as far as I know had no dealings with the Woolfs or Hogarth. </div>

Those photos by Ott can actually be seen on the NPG website, I believe. I was surprised by Mark Gertler’s painting of Koteliansky (‘Kot’): quite irrationally I had always imagined Kot as an ascetic and tiny man, but in this portrait he looks like a big burly businessman! There are some real rarities in the show—the bound volumes of letters that Violet Dickinson returned to VW late in life; I had not ever known Violet annotated these (of course, under glass one can only see a page, but the prospect is tantalizing); also the actual Gestapo list on which L & VW’s names appear. And yes, the catalog is very rich and interesting. I am in London doing research for a biography of Clive Bell, so was lucky to be able to see this wonderful exhibition.<u></u><u></u></p>

I wish it had not been so crowded, as it was hard to pace myself, but I was so glad to get the chance! The book that Spalding has compiled for the exhibit would be worth the while, I think, and is likely available online through the NPG. It's very well curated, with some rare pieces, including candid shots from Ottoline Morrell's photo album. I think the impromptu snaps of Virginia are often so much more interesting than those she posed for. <u></u><u></u></p>
