Greenwich, CT: The Dial Publishing Company, 1923. First Edition. Near Fine. July 1923 issue of The Dial, featuring a short story by Virginia Woolf that would be the precursor to her novel and best-known work, Mrs. Dalloway. Found on page 20-27, the eight page short story entitled "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" is an early draft of the novel's opening sequence, one in which the London hostess Clarissa Dalloway sets out to buy gloves, rather than flowers, on the morning of her party. Bound in publisher's salmon wraps printed in black. i-xii, 104, xiii-xx. Near Fine with light edge wear, several small partially-erased pencil markings to covers. A fragile production of this important milestone, uncommon in such nice condition.
