First trade edition, 4to, frontispiece, folding plates, morocco extra by Bayntun-Riviere, with Cosway-style ivory painted miniature of Lawrence inserted to upper board, slip autographed by Lowell-Thomas "With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia" and T.E. Lawrence under glass on rear board, a.e.g., silk endpapers, slipcaseNote: A fine binding produced by Bayntun-Riviere of Bath, with a hand painted portrait of Lawrence on ivory placed under glass on the upper board. The slip placed under glass on the lower board is signed by both Lowell Thomas and T.E. Lawrence. Lowell Thomas was the american writer and braodcaster that made "Lawrence of Arabia" a household name. He travelled to the Near East to record the work of General Allenby and Lawrence in the campaign against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine during WWI. Thomas, and his cameraman Harry Chase, spent several weeks in the desert with Lawrence, capturing some dramatic footage. After the war Thomas toured the world with his film, With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia, bringing the work of Lawrence to the international stage. Lawrence hid from the limelight and, eventually, grew to resent Thomas for the success of his show, refering to him as a "vulgar man".
