2464Lawrence refers to Charlotte Payne-Townshend Shaw reformer women's rights advocate and wife of author George Bernard Shaw. Lawrence writes to Charlotte's Shaw's doctor William Cooper who took care of Lawrence's broken wrist. In this upbeat letter with a literary reference to American author Henry James Lawrence gives an update on Charlotte as well as his own injured wrist. At the end he asks for the cost of the bill which he supposes Charlotte would have paid had she not become indisposed from an accident. In part "and then the fun began. Dear Cooper was to presume on a very short acquaintance. Dear Dr. Cooper lined you up with a class you probably detest. Dear Mr. Cooper is stiff. So let's begin again. I was going to write just after the occasion; only I was detracked suddenly by the accident to Mrs. Shaw.she is not so long or quite recovered from a scarlet-fever incident at Buxton; Henry James was the putative parent of that last sentence.she bumps down in Hanover square and will be tied by the leg for more weeks.I had wanted to say thank you for examining me that morning. Mrs. Shaw and I thought of it on the spur of the moment.What you had said was most assuring; as it is not likely to get worse I snap my fingers at it. Half an arm is plenty for one's old age and I have still and arm and a half. Nevertheless if fate does bring me to London No wise man would prophesy anything concerning me I will attend on you.It has been less painful.but do not flatter your art - it is faith and happiness acting through favorable judgement. Try telling a patient that she or he will get worse and see it happen! Before Mrs. Shaw I could not discuss finance; she would have felt herself liable for bringing me.My scandalous life of enjoyment is not to be justified but palliated perhaps by paying for itself.let me know how much I am in your debt ." The asterisk is actually the "@" symbol and points to another below the signature with the following explanation. "Financially I mean. Morally I am the assessor and delighted." In his hand he writes and signs "Yours T. E. Shaw." With envelope docketed by William Cooper explaining the letter. The letter is matted with envelope and printed photograph of Lawrence dressed in desert clothing as Lawrence of Arabia. Dr. Cooper explains that Lawrence "seeing two old people in difficulty with a car which wouldn't start he offered to help them but the handle hand crank of the car on a backfire hit him in the wrist & broke it." The incident occurred in March 1927 near Cranwell but since Lawrence did not take the needed time to allow the wrist to heal it never fully recovered. The letter shows Lawrence's wit and good humor about his own accident as well as his concern for his good friend Charlotte Shaw. unknown books

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The first report: 24 pages, including a full-page sketch map, plus a large fold-out color map measuring 18.5 inches x 8.5 inches (47cm x 22cm). This is an exceptional expedition report on the Karun River and the commercial geography of south-west Persia, that pre-dates the authors all-important book, "Persia and the Persian Question", first published in 1892. The book is one of the most important books on Persia; dealing with every aspect of Persia, political, archaeological, cultural, etc., its great strength is its topographical section. As Ghani says, "his powers of observation and analysis were extraordinary; no detail ever escaped him. His book can still be used as a topographical guide for travel in Iran." Ghani 87. This makes this report a highly valuable important primary resource. The second report: 21 pages, plus a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 13 inches x 21 inches (33 cm x 53 cm). Featuring first hand observations of nomadic Bakhtiari tribes, Lynch's chronology recounts his nineteenth century journey in Persia, which he delineates on a large colour map, showing his route from the ancient fortress city Shushter in the Khuzestan province, to Ispahan (Esfahan). Early adventure in West and Central Iran, comprising river-crossings, summit climbs, and destitute villages.

In-8 gr., 2 volumi, tela editoriale, pp. 674; 696; illustrati nel t. da numerose figure e f.t. (come da Indice) da 8 tavole di disegni che illustrano monumenti e rovine; da un ritratto fotografico dell’A. e da 2 grandi carte geografiche a colori (più volte ripieg.): “a sketch map itinerarium of part of North Western Arabia and Negd by C.M. Doughty - Travels, Nov. 1876 to Aug. 1878 in Arabia; May & June 1875 in the Peraea”. Questa celebre e importante opera, diventata un classico di viaggio e di esplorazioni, è introdotta da un lungo commento di T.H. Lawrence che dichiara: “"Arabia Deserta", which had been a joy to read, as a great record of adventure and travel (perhaps the greatest in our language), is a great picture-book of nomad life..”. In fine “Index and glossary of Arabic words”. L’A., Charles Montague Doughty, esploratore e poeta inglese (1843-1926), laureatosi in scienze nell’università di Cambridge e continuato a Oxford lo studio della letteratura classica inglese, compì in seguito una serie di viaggi alla ricerca delle influenze straniere sullo sviluppo della letteratura inglese, interrotta da escursioni dedicate alle linguistica, alla geologia, all’archeologia. Nel 1874 passò in Palestina, al Cairo, nel Sinai, poi a Damasco, dove si diede allo studio dell’arabo. Nel 1876-78 compì un ardito e avventuroso viaggio nell’Arabia settentrionale e centrale: fu a Mada’in Salih, dove studiò i monumenti e raccolse materiale epigrafico mineo e nabateo, a Taima, a Ha’il, a Khaibar dove fu imprigionato. Dopo una lunga odissea riuscì a raggiungere Gedda.. Nel 1888 pubblicò una relazione del viaggio (ed. ridotta, Londra 1926), concepita come un poema epico in prosa, la quale, oltre a essere un’opera di alto valore per la geografia ed etnografia d’Arabia, è anche letteralmente importante per le caratteristiche dello stile”.
