Description

Roy. 8vo., First US Trade Edition, with a portrait frontispiece, 47 plates by Kennington, Rothenstein, Roberts and others, 6 illustrations in the text and 4 folding maps coloured in outline; handsomely bound in red full morocco, back gilt with five raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled and ruled in gilt, uncut, pictorial gilt from original board preserved and mounted on new leaf at front, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The first publicly available US edition of this literary classic, following private publication in 1926 and the limited edition of 1935. Winston Churchill believed that it 'ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language'. The work forms the basis of David Lean's multiple Oscar-winning feature film 'Lawrence of Arabia' (1962) starring Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif. Enser, p.191; O'Brien A42.
