Life, London… this moment in June

This illustrated cover was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. It accompanied an article by Vanessa Thorpe on the idea of “Dalloway Day” and a new story by Deborah Levy inspired by the novel.
The artist, who first read Mrs Dalloway in school, drew scenes of old London in a style that reflects Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness writing. The piece blends memory, movement, and city life—just like the novel.
