British author (1882–1941) revered as one of the most important writers in the English language. On March 28, 1941, after a final attack of mental illness, she loaded her pockets with stones and drowned herself near her Sussex home. Signed book: Orlando. Limited edition of 800 copies (this being No. 465). NY: Crosby Gaige, 1928. Hardcover, 6.25 x 9.25, 333 pages. Signed in purple ink on the reverse of the half-title page. Owner's bookplate affixed to front pastedown, small pencil notations to first free end page, a uniform shade of toning to all pages, light sunning to spine, and scattered light wear and spotting to covers, otherwise fine condition.
