LAWRENCE, Thomas Edward (1888-1935). Revolt in the Desert. London: Jonathan Cape, 1927. 4to (260 x 192 mm). 19 plates (11 printed in color), folding map. Red morocco gilt by Zaehnsdorf. LIMITED EDITION, one of 315 LARGE-PAPER COPIES. Though Lawrence insisted that the text of his Seven Pillars of Wisdom not be published until his death, he privately printed an edition of 100 copies of that work in 1926, which included a commissioned series of portraits. To pay the artists' fees, he sold Jonathan Cape the rights to publish this abridgement in 1927, which includes the same portraits as the limited edition of Seven Pillars. O'Brien A101.
