In fact I am doing so on Saturday August 30 about 11 am with a group of Stanford undergraduates; we are doing a short course on Bloomsbury at King's. Shortly after twelve the group will probably have an informal lunch at the National Gallery Cafe next door which is bigger than the NPG cafe. Should some Woolfians like to join us, they would be welcome. Then Stuart is taking the group on a Bloomsbury walk. I can't believe he'd object to a few Woolfians coming along. It does seem a rather Bloomsbury year with the exhibit, the cookbook, and the Memoir book.<br><br>Other than on that weekend when we are also going to Tilton, Charleston, Bewick, and Monk's House, we will be in residence at King's Cambridge August 27-September 15 and if any Woolfians are in Cambridge during that period they would be welcome to join us informally for lunch or dinner in the King's Hall. Also on Friday September 5 at 5 we are having a reception at Newnham with the Dadie Rylands' table on which Virginia lunched and Frances Spalding should be giving us a short talk. We are paying ten pounds a head for that event and a few Woolfians would be welcome to join us for that fee!<br><br>my best, Peter<br><br>On 8/4/2014 11:16 PM, Mark Hussey wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Frances Spalding has done a wonderful job of creating a narrative through visual artefacts. 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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu">vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu</a> [<a href="mailto:vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu">mailto:vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Andrea<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, August 04, 2014 8:18 PM<br><b>Cc:</b> VWOOLF listserv<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Vwoolf] Review of the National Portrait Gallery exhibit in Apollo magazine</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Diana, I was lucky enough to have my trip to London coincide with the exhibit.

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.
