Lawrence, D. H. (1885-1930). APOCALYPSE.. Florence: G. Orioli, 1931. dj, 1931.
Price: US$250.00 + shipping
Description: Hardcover first edition - Limited, first edition. Lawrence's last book, which he was working on at the time of his death, published posthumously - a book which grew out of his fascination with the Biblical 'Book of Revelations.' It begins: "Apocalypse simply means Revelation, although there is nothing simple about this one" and ends with an appeal to renounce materialism and false connections "Start with the sun and the rest will slowly, slowly happen." Frontispiece is a photograph of Lawrence signed and dated, taken in Chapala, Mexico, in 1922, with the same photograph reproduced on the front cover of the dust jacket. Limited edition, printed on Binda paper, #394 out of 750 printed, of which 700 were for sale. No. 6 in Orioli's Lungarno series. 308 pp. Very good overall in light red boards with a small black illustration on front cover, black and gilt title label on spine (some toning to the pages, fading to the covers, and very light scattered foxing) in a poor example of the very fragile and rather uncommon dust jacket with several large chips, creasing and significant fading and toning and missing approx 2/3rd of the dj spine covering. Still a sturdy and tight copy.
