Old folds some soiling two tiny patches of thinning from old adhesion on first page a minute strip of cellotape on verso not affecting signature page. Good plus. Two pages on a bifolium. 1 vols. 8vo. Lawrence of Arabia at the height of his acclaim and celebrity in Britain treads a careful line in his response to a letter from editor James Louis Garvin 1868-1947 editor of the Observer newspaper and a leading spokesman for the Conservative party:<br /> <br /> "I'd be delighted to talk to you personally about the Middle East: which looks a sad tangle because our focus is wrong: all's very well really: only I can't write either now or in the future about it since most of my views are based on official information and it wouldn't do to give it away. I know I'm supposed to have written upon it but actually all I did was one short letter to the Times not controversial and that was by request"<br /> <br /> He expresses his willingness to meet with the editor subject to these reservations and concludes "Yours sincerely T E Lawrence By the way I'm not a Colonel now!"<br /> <br /> A choice letter right around the time that Lawrence lost the draft manuscript of Seven Pillars in the Reading train station. Two weeks later he began "to scribble out what I remembered of the first text"; the disenchantment with British policy in the Middle East was still ahead. unknown

1962ABC_487151962. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. One glossy photograph ca. 20 x 26 cm. Promotional picture for Lawrence of Arabia 1962 the epic adventure drama based on the life of T. E. Lawrence 1888-1935. Lawrence was a diplomat and an officer in the British army known for his role during the Arab Revolt 1916-1918 and the Sinai and Palestine campaign 1915-1918. Because of his activities and his abilities to describe his experiences vividly he became widely known. The film based on his life is still very influential and often considered one of the best films of all time.Slightly creased around the edges with some ink marks and small brown stains in the top half somewhat affecting the image. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
26322No date or place. 1930s or 1940s. From the Henry Williamson papers. The present text does not feature in Williamson’s 1941 memoir of Lawrence ‘Genius of Friendship’ and appears to be unpublished. According to Williamson’s entry in the Oxford DNB the publication in 1927 of ‘Tarka the Otter’ ‘attracted the attention of T. E. Lawrence whose letter of praise started a correspondence and friendship between the two. Indeed Lawrence's fatal motorcycle crash on 14 May 1935 occurred as he was returning from a trip to the post office to send a telegram to Williamson’. Eighteen lines of typewritten text single-spaced on one side of a 20 x 17 cm piece of laid Partridge & Cooper Ledger paper cut from the lower part of a leaf. Lightly aged and spotted with one punch hole in margin. Two folds. Autograph emendation of the word ‘jerk’ to ‘turn’. Two paragraphs the first and shorter reading: ‘There are several characteristic gestures of his that I can see vividly. One of them his expression and action in turning his head upon a speaker when an idea has taken sudden root in his head from what has been said. He would turn his head sideways at an angle of 15º give the person a quick glance and then frown and as it were set his eyes upon the other person’s eyes with a swift jerk as though to strike a line through the other’s brain to clear a way through thought-confusion to sky-clarity beyond.’ The second paragraph discusses ‘the hidden springs of his tact’ ‘difficult to convey in a screen version of his life’ with reference to ‘a George Arliss film’. Ends: ‘The real thing indeed as Lawrence knew and used it is terrifically better theatre. It is the basis of all religion.’ No date or place. (1930s or 1940s?) unknown
1962235391962. Lawrence of Arabia press release photo archive 1962 recording the publicity and production record of Columbia Pictures' large scale film adaptation of T. E. Lawrence's wartime role in the Arab Revolt. Released in 1962 and directed by David Lean the film became one of the defining historical epics of postwar cinema built around location shooting desert spectacle and widescreen cinematography rather than studio bound reconstruction. These press photographs document the film at the point of production on location.<br /> Archive of 6 press release silver gelatin photographs approximately 8 x 10 inches issued by Columbia Pictures Corporation 1962. The photographs show crew members operating large motion picture cameras the director or camera man seated beside camera equipment while gesturing toward a performer in Arab outfits actors and crew gathered in courtyard and desert settings men seated in water during a production or publicity scene a figure on a barren rocky rise and a street scene with riders buildings and extras arranged for a period setting. Printed press text at the margins identifies Columbia Pictures copyright in 1962 and grants newspapers magazines and periodicals permission to reproduce the photographs for nonadvertising purposes. Several images carry production or publicity codes beginning with "La" linking the group to the film's release campaign.<br /> <br /> Lawrence of Arabia was produced during the era when Hollywood studios used large format historical spectacle to compete with television and to maintain the theatrical event status of feature films. Its production depended on extended location work in desert and Mediterranean settings a visual strategy that gave the film its scale and also generated a large body of publicity photography showing the labor behind that scale. These press photographs preserve that publicity layer: not only finished scenes but cameras crew performers costumes and staged encounters prepared for circulation in the illustrated press. Light surface wear handling creases and edge toning with printed Columbia Pictures press lines retained. Overall good condition. A concise press photography record of how Columbia Pictures presented Lawrence of Arabia as both film spectacle and location made production in 1962. unknown
