He travelled to the Near East to record the work of General Allenby and Lawrence in the campaign against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine during WWI. Thomas, and his cameraman Harry Chase, spent several weeks in the desert with Lawrence, capturing some dramatic footage. After the war Thomas toured the world with his film, With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia, bringing the work of Lawrence to the international stage. Lawrence hid from the limelight and, eventually, grew to resent Thomas for the success of his show, refering to him as a “vulgar man”. £2,500-3,500

First edition, 8vo, presentation copy inscribed by the author on front free endpaper “With all the best / Eric Blair”, half title, original black cloth gilt, lacking dustwrapper, some rubbing to edges of cloth, foxing to endpaper Note: Fenwick A.8a TO CHECK A scarce Orwell title, around 1000 copies were printed in 1940 and went out of print before the end of the year. However, all the volumes were not sold, some were destroyed during an air raid. No American edition has been published.

This classic work also explains such optical phenomena as the rainbow, “Newton’s rings”, and the double refraction of the Icelandic spar. Newton opens his study with the sentence: “My design in this book is not to explain properties of light by hypotheses, but to propose and prove them by reason and experiments.” Because of Newton’s reliance on scientific method, Opticks remained for over a century a work of great authority. The two Treatises of the species and magnitude of curvilinear figures included at the end of the text-Newton’s first printed mathematical papers-were intended to assert his priority over Leibniz in the discovery of the calculus. £10,000-15,000
