[Vwoolf] Woolf Question

[Maggie Humm]

Dear Karina



A good source is Carol Hansen's The Life and Death of Asham number 26 in the Bloomsbury Heritage Series published by Cecil Woolf.

The Vanessa Bell albums in the Tate Archive have photographs taken at Asheham specifically Album 2 pp. 8-23 and p. 34 onwards. I am not sure whether these photos show the house and garden per se.

I reproduced some photos taken at Asheham in Snapshots of Bloomsbury but these show only details of the house and garden in the background for example, windows etc. p. 72, p. 74 etc. p. 99 has the interior in the rather wonderful photo of Oliver Strachey, and p. 103 Julian against a window, p. 109 has a wall and windows in the rear of the photo etc.

Best of luck in your search!

Maggie

Subject: [Vwoolf] Woolf Question

I was wondering if I could post the following question to the listserv - thank you!

Does anyone know where I can find some decent images of Ash[e]ham House before it was demolished? Pictures dating from the period that the Woolf's were staying there would be particularly useful. I have looked at the Harvard collection, but good images of the house and grounds are not to be found. Virginia took some photographs herself with a Kodak camera in 1917 (some of which may be of the house or gardens) but I'm not sure where these images might be. I'm particularly interested in the exterior of the house and the surrounding gardens.

Many thanks!

Karina
