Lot 1
Lamb (Henry). The Works of Thomas Gray in Prose and Verse. Edited by Edmund Gosse, vols. 2 and 3 only (of 4), Macmillan and Co., 1903, inscribed by Henry Lamb "Ottoline Morrell. H. L. 1911" on the front free endpaper of vol. 2, frontispieces, orig. maroon cloth, a trifle soiled, crown 8vo For a time during 1911, Ottoline was mistress to Bertrand Russell, and the artists Henry Lamb, and Roger Fry. Ottoline first met Lamb in October 1909, and was startled by his devasting good-looks "that seemed to come from a vision of Blake". By the spring of the following year, they had become lovers. Miranda Seymour writes that "her love for Lamb was always stronger than her sense of his faults": Ottoline would later write that "no one had such power of tormenting a soul as Henry Lamb had". In 1911 Ottoline informed Lamb "that I was transferring my love to Bertie". This shocked Lamb, who desired to keep her at all costs, rather than lose her to "a dry little stick of a man" like Russell, but Ottoline noted that it was too late, as he had trampled on their friendship.
