<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Thanks for the article! I reproduced the Virginia
Woolf plate in <EM>The Sisters' Arts </EM>(1988,
1991),<EM> </EM>illustration 4.13 on p. 199 and discuss the plates briefly
on p. 198. I was able to see a number of the plates during the 1980s in
the home of Lady Clark. I reproduced the image with Angelica
Garnett's permission. I suppose "deliriously camp" is relative, depending
on one's definition of both words during a particular time period. The
definition doesn't really resonate with me. The plates seem very much in
line with Bloomsbury decorative work in general.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Paula, thank you for this interesting post!
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If any Woolfians have some free time and feel like to sharing a close
reading today, I would love to know how you think the images on these
dinner plates signal a "deliriously camp" (Kenneth Clark's language)
aesthetic. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also, does anyone have an image of the Woolf plate? Or "Miss
1933"? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
<DIV>Jane <BR>
