[Vwoolf] The Bloomsbury Look

[mhussey at verizon.net]

… and in fairness to Wendy H, in case there is any confusion at all, her book is well documented with an extensive bibliography.

It’s the NYT writer who is not aware of Reed’s work (not surprising in a journalist, though).

I of course thought of Christopher Reed as well, but the author was the curator at Charleston for twelve years, and probably knows him and certainly knows his work.

I agree the book looks lovely, and I enjoy the photograph of Roger Fry’s pajamas. But I don’t think it’s “the first” and am also thinking of Christopher Reed’s work, among others.

It is indeed a lovely looking book. But I think claiming it as the “first book” to do all those things the NYT says it does will come as a surprise to some people. Christopher Reed, for example.

In today’s New York Times, an article on the best recent coffee table books features Wendy Hiitchmough’s The Bloomsbury Look published by Yale UP. It describes it as “the first book to thoroughly unpack the group’s visual aesthetic, from portraits to photographs, fashion design and correspondence.”
