Sixty-five captioned original full-page black and white photographs taken by H.A. Chase, F.R.G.S., and by the author. One of the earliest in-situ accounts of the Arab War and T.E.L.’s contribution to it (and now an uncommon item). Thomas (along with cameraman Harry Chase) met Lawrence in Jerusalem and the three spent several weeks together in the desert where they photographed and interviewed various Arab leaders and shot dramatic footage of Lawrence that Thomas later used during his public lectures in the US and Britain to inform people on the war in Palestine. A beautiful First Edition. Collector’s Item.
