‎A Journey in Nuristan.‎

‎8 pages, plus photographic plates and a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 11.5 x 8.5 inches (29 x 22cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating expedition report on Nuristan - the little known part of the Hindu Kush which lies inside Afghanistan to the north of Jalalabad along the Chitral border. Excerpt from the introduction: "Sir George Scott Robertson was the first European to visit this country, in 1889. Nuristan was then independent, and known as Kafiristan and its inhabitants as Kafirs. Kipling wrote his famous story "The Man Who Would Be King" about this country. Two important German Expeditions travelled extensively in Nuristan, and owing to that the Nuristans refer to all Europeans as Germans..." End Excerpt Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers. Thesiger had the immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the peoples and places he explored and visited. His work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq.‎

‎Desert Borderlands of Oman‎

‎36 pages. With a full-page sketch map and photographic plates.Does not have the map whic hwas published at alater date (the following year). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. A complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers among the Arabs, his narrative is vividly written. These papers cover the five years in which Thesiger spent in and around the Empty Quarter, the half million square miles of one of the cruellest deserts in the world. The 20th century was very fortunate in being able to have a record of some of the glory it lost as seen through the eyes and camera of this very remarkable explorer. He was born in the British Legation in Addis Ababa in 1910, an event that was to shape the life of this extraordinary man and spent his first nine years in Ethiopia, or Abyssinia as it was then called. By the time he accompanied his parents back to England in 1919, the sight, sounds, wildness and raw savagery of the land had been instilled in him and a traveller was born. His return to Ethiopia in 1930 for the crowning of HIM Haile Selassie marked the beginning of his first hunting and exploration adventures into this highly dangerous country. Wilfred Thesiger has an immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the people of the desert, the Bedu, and his work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq. But he says that none of these places moved him as did the deserts of Arabia. He spent five years in the region travelling on camels and on foot across some ten thousand miles of a vast empty land. What he found, as in his time with the people of the Iraq marshes which he described in his book The Marsh Arabs, was a way on life on the threshold of destruction.‎

‎The Marshmen of Southern Iraq.‎

‎10 pages, including in-text sketch map. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Travelling with his medicine boxes and his teams of canoemen around the junction between the Tigris and the Euphrates, Thesiger visited nearly every village in the Central Marshes and came to know intimately the people who inhabit this landscape of islands, lakes and waterways, living with them in their reed houses and sharing their unique way of life. He beautifully evokes the landscape and its teeming wildlife and vividly brings to life the many friends he made among the Marsh Arabs. His extraordinary photographs provide a stunning record of the last remnants of a people and their culture. Pre-dates his book, 'The Marsh Arabs', first published in 1964.‎

‎.your free copy shall be distinguished somehow beyond the ordinary copies. We can write in it or add or subtract something to make it quite peculiar. I owe you the very greatest thanks for your help when I was low in the list." - <br />A 7 September 1925 autograph letter signed by T. E. Lawrence "of Arabia" to John G. Wilson "the most famous English bookseller of his time" a critical supporter of the legendary 1926 Subscriber's edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and one of the select few to receive a complimentary copy from Lawrence‎

‎1925. Letter. This 7 September 1925 autograph letter from T. E. Lawrence "of Arabia" to John G. Wilson "the most famous English bookseller of his time" a critical supporter of the legendary 1926 Subscriber's edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and one of the select few to receive a complimentary copy from Lawrence. The letter is noteworthy not only for the association but for timing and content as Lawrence was struggling to fill subscriptions for his magnum opus. <br /> <br />“…your free copy shall be distinguished somehow beyond the ordinary copies… I owe you the very greatest thanks for your help…” <br /> <br />The letter is addressed and dated at the top right of the first panel "338171 AC II Shaw Hut 105 R.A.F. Cadet College Cranwell Lincs. 7. IX. 25". Following Lawrence's salutation "Dear Wilson" the letter reads: <br />"My "sample" has only choked off one subscriber to date. It can't be helped. I see you have put yourself down for a paying copy. But you must also lend me your bibliophilic experience so that your free copy shall be distinguished somehow beyond the ordinary copies. We can write in it or add or subtract something to make it quite peculiar. I owe you the very greatest thanks for your help when I was low in the list. One of your subscribers puzzles me. I have booked <br />F. R. Richmond Esq. <br />8A Kensington Palace Gardens <br />London W. 8. <br />and also <br />F. R. Richmond Esq. <br />Holm Foundry <br />Cathcart <br />Glasgow. <br />Are these two men or one There were two Richmonds you told me: but surely not to F. R.'s. That seems almost incredible. Lord Bute didn't get a copy: because Lady Bute is giving him one:" <br />Following his valediction "yours sincerely" and signature "T E Shaw." there is a postscript: "My move to the Air Force has broken the thread of my proof-correcting & thrown me back." <br /> <br />Condition <br /> <br />The letter is written in black ink on a single sheet of laid watermarked "ORIGINAL BLACKFRIARS MILL" paper measuring 8.875 x 6.9375 inches folded once to form four 4.375 x 6.9375 inches panels. Lawrence wrote on the first and third of these panels. Condition is very good. The paper is complete with no loss tears or appreciable wear other than an additional horizontal fold from original posting. The paper shows light overall soiling to the first and fourth outer panels and perhaps a faint hint of spotting to the lower front panel. Lawrence's ink remains clear and unfaded. The letter is protected within a clear removable archival sleeve housed within a rigid crimson cloth folder. <br /> <br />“Lawrence of Arabia” <br /> <br />During the First World War Thomas Edward “T. E.” Lawrence 1888-1935 experienced a transformative odyssey as instigator organizer hero and tragic figure of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia”. He spent the rest of his famously short life struggling to variously reconcile reject share and repress this indelible experience which was eventually recounted in his magnum opus Seven Pillars of Wisdom. <br /> <br />Hiding and writing in the R.A.F. <br /> <br />As part of his effort to evade his celebrity in August 1922 Lawrence enlisted in the Royal Air Force first under the name “John Hume Ross” and later “Thomas Edward Shaw” – a name he used until his death. Hence from that time forward he seldom signed with his original surname. By December 1922 Lawrence had with a close circle of friends “decided to produce 100 copies of the Seven Pillars at thirty guineas a copy if so many subscribers can be found.” So September 1925 found Lawrence – officially Aircraftsman Shaw residing in “Hut 105” of the R. A. F. Cadet College at Cranwell – trying to both duck and recount the events that had made him so uncomfortably famous. By the time Lawrence wrote this letter to Wilson in 9 September 1925 he was well into the elaborate preparation of and corresponding expenses for his famous Subscriber’s edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Subscribers were fewer than had been hoped and Wilson was to prove of material help. <br /> <br />John Gideon Wilson <br /> <br />John Gideon Wilson 1876-1963 was manager of Bumpus bookshop "the most famous English bookseller of his time" and a significant even critical supporter of the famous 1926 Subscriber's edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. "Described as 'massively wise and unassumedly learned' this lovable man was endowed with a rare simplicity. In his shop Wilson might be found conversing with the poet laureate or wrapping up the purchase of a schoolboy. His assessment of authors and their books was quick and sure and his advice always valid was freely given to authors publishers and his fellow booksellers." Given his literate and approachable character and his commercial stature it seems no surprise that he and Lawrence found opportunity to collaborate. <br /> <br />More than just a friend and subscriber <br /> <br />Today when Subscriber's editions of Lawrence's magnum opus routinely command $six-figure sums it is almost prohibitively difficult to imagine any challenge in securing subscribers for the mere 202 copies eventually issued. But at the time Lawrence's expenses in producing the edition to his exacting and lavish specifications were extravagant and for much of 1925 he was genuinely concerned by a lack of anticipated subscriber commitments. It was to Wilson that Lawrence had turned earlier in the year when facing the prospect "that the plans for a thirty-guinea subscription edition had been over optimistic. By mid-March three months after the start of the project only twenty-six subscribers had been found" while estimated costs to produce the edition were proving higher than anticipated. Lawrence wrote to Wilson who was both manager of Bumpus bookshop in London and bookseller to the King asking if Wilson "would like to place twenty copies at the thirty guineas price." Six worrisome months later prospects had improved - due in no small part to Wilson. "By the middle of September" a week after Lawrence wrote this letter to him "Wilson had added a block of subscriptions and the total suddenly jumped to eighty." <br /> <br />Bookseller to the King <br /> <br />Indeed when completed by the binders in November 1926 Lawrence sent "the very first of these" to the Royal Library at Windsor which "had taken out a subscription" having placed the order through J. G. Wilson. For this copy Lawrence returned the advance cheque writing in advance explanation to Wilson ".it seems improper that Kings should buy and sell among their subjects." <br /> <br />Wilson was clearly a trusted figure; in 1928 when Lawrence was collaborating with Bruce Rogers on their famous rendering of Homer's Odyssey Wilson was one of the few trusted early with the knowledge that Lawrence was to be the translator. Following Lawrence's death in 1935 Wilson had a hand in the disposal of Lawrence's personal library from his beloved Clouds Hill cottage. <br /> <br />A doubly privileged recipient <br /> <br />Ultimately there were only 211 copies of the Subscriber's Edition of which 170 were complete copies 32 incomplete and 9 spoils. No two copies are identical. In addition to various differences in inclusion and placement of the many illustrations each copy was bound differently. Wilson would have a hand in selling an appreciable percentage of the 170 available for sale to subscribers. Speaking to his importance to the edition and as substantiated by this letter Wilson would personally receive not only one of the 32 incomplete copies that Lawrence gifted to friends and comrades from the Arab Revolt but also one of the 170 complete copies. <br /> <br />References: Wilson Lawrence of Arabia; ODNB; Richard Knowles Rickaro Books <br/><br/> unknown‎
