Magdalen College, Oxford have acquired a major collection of books, manuscripts, and iconography on the Arabist, soldier, and writer T.E. Lawrence (‘Lawrence of Arabia’, 1888-1935), with the assistance of Type & Forme. The collection was assembled over fifty years by Jeremy Wilson, Lawrence’s authorised biographer, to support his pioneering work on Lawrence’s remarkable life and oeuvre.
A selection of these items will be on display, together with important loans from private and public collections in Magdalen’s forthcoming exhibition “Lawrence of Oxford” (7 November 2018-1 May 2019).
The full news story is available in Fine Books & Collections (26 October 2018).
