The copy of artist Barbara Bagenal (n�e Hiles), a friend of Carrington from the Slade who assisted the Woolfs with their early printing - in the period before her marriage to Nicholas Bagenal she had been involved with both David Garnett and John Maynard Keynes, and was later the 'devoted companion' (ODNB) of Clive Bell, but the present copy bears her ex dono inscription recording it as the token of perhaps her most enduring relationship within the group, with Saxon Sydney-Turner. One of 1,000 copies in the first edition. (Kirkpatrick A5a; Woolmer 17).
