A propos de cet article

Two sumptuously bound volumes of the David Garnett edition of the "Letters of T.E. Lawrence", specially bound for the partners in the Jonathan Cape company. Probably the only two so bound, in fine near identical half leather bindings, Jonathan Cape's copy in scarlet leather and Wren Howard's in brown leather. Cape's copy is signed by Jonathan Cape and Wren Howard has a note from his widow giving provenance to the copy laid in. Both volumes in fine condition. These two copies surely deserve to be kept together to mark the triumvirate that meant so much to this publishing House, Jonathan Cape the eponymous partner, Wren Howard and of course T.E. Lawrence to whom much of the early success of the company rested. Still the most important collection of T.E. Lawrence correspondence. O'Brien A202. Remains one of the best sources for information on T.E. and his life. 896pp each volume.
