[Vwoolf] FW: Newly discovered portrait of Vigrinia Woolf

Tue Oct 4 07:18:14 EDT 2016

Quite: 'hitherto unknown portrait of VW' because it's not VW. Looks more like me (on a very good day about 20 years ago). But thanks for passing it on -- very entertaining.

This is not Woolf, and there is nothing other than the name written on the back to link it with her in any way. Anyone who buys it would have to more than half blind!”    Lindsay0208 245 3580/07734 106131  From: Vwoolf [mailto:vwoolf-bounces at lists.osu.edu] On Behalf Of Steve Posin
