<DIV>I can now answer the question, “How did Franklin get it?” He bought
it: "Charleston" (lots 200-328) in "Tennyson" (auction catalogue), Sotheby’s,
21-22 Jul 1980, p. 180, lot 327 (b&w photo and detailed description).
He paid £2800 + 10% premium. That’s quite an expensive present to give to
the Baskins.</DIV>

<DIV>Since much of the cat. is about Tennyson,
<DIV style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; DISPLAY: inline">
<DIV style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; DISPLAY: inline">I draw
your attention to E6, p. 637:</DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ">
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>“Money and Love”, E3.191n2: the source of the quotation is Tennyson’s ‘The
Lord of Burleigh’ (1842): ‘But a trouble weigh’d upon her, / And perplex’d her
night and morn, / With the burthen of an honour / Unto which she was not
born.’</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See also Samuel Butler’s “Notebooks”: “some people in future ages may wish
to draw between the character of Lord Burleigh’s steps in Tennyson’s poem,
according as he was walking up or pacing down. Wherefrom also the critic will
argue that the scene of Lord Burleigh’s weeping *must* have been on an inclined
plane:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Weeping, weeping late and early,</DIV>
<DIV>Walking up and pacing down,</DIV>
<DIV>Deeply mourned the Lord of Burleigh,</DIV>
<DIV>Burleigh-house by Stamford-town.”</DIV>

<DIV>In the past (on this list?), there was huge discussion about the desk: what
happened to it? who cut it down? who painted it? why did VW use it? to be like
her sister, a painter? Above all, for how long did she use it?</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My brief summary:</DIV>
<DIV>In 1929 VW gave it QB, who painted it; Anne Olivier Bell cut it down by
6". Also see correspondence between Colin Franklin and Leonard Baskin; the
former promised the desk to Leonard Baskin. Lisa said Franklin gave the
desk to *her*; see: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://exhibits.library.duke.edu/exhibits/show/baskin/essays/insatiable-lust__;!!KGKeukY!ngI2KJst-jKkBiCoxUY85eEJr-I9WjruuCA5ucoO5qhkQ62rtPWhWdMwc-zeJQa4Kd8$">https://exhibits.library.duke.edu/exhibits/show/baskin/essays/insatiable-lust</A></DIV>

<P>Out of curiosity I Googled <Virginia Woolf + lectern>. Didn't get any
eagles apart from the ones listed by Stuart, but I did get this.</P>
