A fine, new copy in blue quarter cloth with silver facsimile initial “TES” to front board and silver title to spine. A limited edition of just one hundred and fifty copies, each hand numbered. 36pp with 5 plates in b/w.. An essay written following the discovery of a 1925 letter written by Lawrence to Captain Raymond Goslett that was found tipped into copy number 50 of the UK limited issue of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Analysing the letter in depth, this work seeks to give us insight into the enigmatic figure who became immortalised as Lawrence of Arabia, as well as providing an insight into two of his friends.
