Description
8vo., First Edition thus; handsomely bound in blue full crushed morocco, sides with frame border, gilt back, original printed wrappers preserved, gilt top, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. Vita Sackville-West's first published work, Chatterton was issued in 1909 in a privately printed edition of 100 copies printed by J. Salmon of Sevenoaks. See Gretton, 1. Only two copies are known to have survived; this high-quality facsimile is reproduced from the copy preserved at Sissinghurst. In his specially written introduction, Nigel Nicolson provides fascinating and detailed background to the work's composition and original publication, which Vita funded with £5 from her pocket money at the age of 17! See Cross & Hulme A.1; Gretton 1.
