A W Lawrence – T E Lawrence – by his friends – SIGNED by A W Lawrence and Jeremy Wilson’s Copy 

A first edition, first printing of ‘T E Lawrence – by his friends’ published by Cape in 1954. This, the ‘New Abridged Edition’. A near fine book in like unclipped wrapper which is clipped to the rear flap. With the single name of Lawrence’s biographer, Jeremy Wilson to the front endpaper and SIGNED without dedication by Lawrence’s brother A W Lawrence to the title page.

Originally a 1937 biographical tribute compiling personal recollections of T. E. Lawrence—best known as “Lawrence of Arabia”—by those who knew him best. Edited by his younger brother, it offers intimate insights into Lawrence’s complex character, achievements, and contradictions, blending admiration and honesty. These essays reveal a multifaceted man: soldier, scholar, and adventurer, whose enigmatic personality left a lasting impression on friends and the world alike. A lovely association to the biographer and rare signed.
