LAWRENCE, T. E. - LIDDELL HART, Basil Henry, & Sir Ronald Storrs.. Lawrence of Arabia.. London: The Corvinus Press, 1936, 1936.

Price: US$5847.96 + shipping

Description: Signed limited edition, no. 8 of 12 copies printed for Liddell Hart and signed by himself and Ronald Storrs (out of a total edition of 128), additionally inscribed by Liddell Hart on the front free endpaper "To Marie, my dearest friend since birth, from Basil". This copy retains the rare glassine jacket and flaps, unknown to Philip M. O'Brien, Lawrence's bibliographer. The recipient of the book was surely, given the tender inscription, his childhood nurse Marie Nield: "It was fortunate that I had an angelic nurse, Marie Nield - to her I owed much in every way, and she was a friend for the rest of her life" (Liddell Hart, The Memoirs, vol. I, 1965, p. 6). The Corvinus Press was established in 1936 by Viscount Carlow, who had formed a friendship with Lawrence in the early 1930s, based on a shared interest in book-collecting, fine printing, and languages; they had even discussed setting up a private press - a plan that foundered due to Lawrence's premature death. Lawrence of Arabia prints the speeches by Liddell Hart and Storrs given at a luncheon in memory of Lawrence, about a month after his death; that by Liddell Hart is entitled "Lawrence: The Artist in War and Literature" and that by Storrs, "Lawrence: Himself". O'Brien E101. Quarto. Original sand-coloured half cloth, matching kinari chiri paper sides by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, spine lettered in gilt, single gilt rules at spine and corner edges, Corvinus device to front cover, top edge gilt, others uncut. With the original glassine jacket and paper flaps. Limitation and terminal leaves soiled, the book in all other respects fine, glassine with minor loss and closed tear at extremities yet in a remarkably nice state of preservation. An excellent copy.
