After Duncan Grant died in 1978, Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex lost the last of its original Bloomsbury Group residents. The house's fate remained unclear for several years with its contents remaining undisturbed and unaltered.While funds were being sought for its restoration, Kim Marsland (an art student) made two visits to take notes and photographs for an essay on the Bloomsbury Group.Her unique record of Charleston shows the house just as Grant left it-cluttered with years of painting, collecting and family life.These twenty-six photographs capture the atmosphere of a house full of memories and artistic importance. They also show Charleston before its restoration, allowing the reader a peek into a lost past. Some pictures will be familiar to lovers of Charleston Farmhouse, but others(such as the ones of the garden) less so. This beautifully produced book of previously unseen photographs is the perfect keepsake for Bloomsbury Group aficionados.
