This collection of 49 maps was originally assembled by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. The large number of road maps attests to their enjoyment of driving vacations around Europe. Included in the collection are two maps of Rodmell, England, where in 1919 the Woolfs purchased a country house. It was in this home, named Monk's House, that Virginia Woolf wrote her first novel. Both maps are annotated by Leonard Woolf and bound and titled by Virginia Woolf.
