SACKVILLE-WEST, Vita. Orchard and Vineyard. London: John Lane at The Bodley Head. 1921. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s quarter beige cloth over pale blue paper-covered boards with title panel to upper board and spine panel. Edges untried. Printed dedication ‘to—’. 2pp ads to rear advertising VSW’s previous works. A smart example, the spine label rubbed, the front a touch stained. Corners and tips gently rubbed, with light marks to all panels. The binding tight and square, the contents with previous owner inscription to front endpaper, alongside a mostly-erased one above. Light spots on occasion, one or two brief pencil annotations, else clean.
VSW’s third book of poetry which touches on the First World War, on life at Knole—the family home—and indeed on sailing ships, but the overriding theme seems to be considerations of youth. Vita was 29 at the time of publication.
