T. E. Lawrence's Earthly Paradise together with 20 Original Photographs

LAWRENCE, T.E. Seven Pillars of Wisdom a triumph. London: Jonathan Cape. 1935.

4to. Original brown buckram, spine lettered in gilt, upper board blocked in gilt with crossed sword design, top edges brown, others uncut; pp. 672; frontispiece and 47 photogravure plates by John Swain & Son after Augustus John, Eric Kennington, Lawrence, and others, four folding maps printed by The Chiswick Press, Ltd in red and black and bound to throw clear; minimal fading to extremities, no offsetting from endpapers or frontispiece as frequently the case; a very clean and crisp copy, largely unopened; with an intriguing provenance and mostly unpublished photographs of T. E. Lawrence's last home, Clouds Hill, as well as snapshots of his funeral.

First trade edition, first printing. Seven Pillars of Wisdom was first printed in 1922 in an edition of eight copies intended for Lawrence's use, of which only six copies survive intact; the 'Subscribers' or 'Cranwell' edition then followed in 1926, published privately in an edition of circa 211 copies and, as Lawrence wrote to Sotheran's on 24 April 1925, 'this thing is being given only to my friends and their friends. No copies are for sale'; and finally, after Lawrence's death in May 1935, the text was published in a trade edition by Jonathan Cape in July 1935. Such was the book's popularity that the first impression was quickly exhausted and second, third and fourth impressions were printed in the following month (August 1935).

20 original photographs of T. E. Lawrence's home since 1924 until his untimely death in 1935, a cottage in Dorset, Clouds Hill, all taken and printed in 1935, including two snapshots of his funeral (measuring 210 by 160 mm, apart from two smaller ones) stamped K. N. Crowe, Photographer of Reading on versos and marked in ink as Property of the Executors of T. E. Shaw (the published pseudonym Lawrence took on when he joined the RAF). The photos show the exterior and interior of the cottage, including the door with a stone lintel above, which T. E. Lawrence had placed. Into this stone lintel Lawrence carved two Greek words, which translate roughly as 'no worries'. The photos of the funeral are stamped on versos 'If used for reproduction due acknowledgement to be given to [in ink:] Pathe Gazette'. The photo of the bookroom downstairs was used for reproduction in T.E. Lawrence by His Friends, published in 1937. The two smaller photographs measuring 98 by 143 mm show 'Clouds Hill Fine Tank (or swimming bath) across road from cottage' (pencilled caption on verso, in a hand not dissimilar to TEL's, but not enough text to be conclusive) and a fine Indian double door with elaborate lattice work inside the cottage. All previously contained in an envelope addressed to Jock Chambers (see below), which is included in this collection. T. E. Lawrence described Clouds Hill as his earthly paradise. He rented it first in 1923 while stationed with the Tank Corps at Bovington Camp. After having refurbished the property he bought it as his holiday home. In 1935, just a few weeks before his tragic death he had chosen Clouds Hill as permanent residence.

Provenance: A. E. 'Jock' Chambers was an orderly to Lawrence during his time at Farnborough and they became lifelong friends and exchanged letters. Chambers visited Lawrence several times at Clouds Hill. Lawrence instructed Chambers in literature and music, lent him books and paid for his membership of the London Library. The two kept in touch after Lawrence moved to Bovington and Chambers became a postal sorter in London. The Bodleian Library has a fine archive of T.E. Lawrence manuscripts, including 24 letters from Lawrence to Chambers, and also the original wrapping of the parcel of books posted to Chambers on 13 May 1935, only minutes before Lawrence's fatal accident. Chambers died in 1987 at the age of 91. The photographs were passed from Jock Chambers to Geoff Pawling, who died in 2024.

Budget Peptides That Make My Skin Look Way More Awake Than I Feel
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
There’s a very specific moment that hits sometime in your 30s and 40s where you lean into the mirror and think… “Wait. Have those lines always been there… or did they just clock in overnight?” That’s when I officially entered my “okay fine, let’s take anti-aging seriously” era. Nothing dramatic. I’m not trying to freeze my face in time. I just want my skin to look hydrated, bouncy, and slightly less “I stayed up too late editing videos again.” So I started looking into peptides because every skincare nerd on the internet swears by them. The problem? Most peptide serums cost like $40–$80 and my wallet simply laughed. Then I found this Good Molecules Super Peptide Serum for around $12 and thought… suspicious. But also, add to cart. First thing I love about this brand in general: they’re weirdly transparent. They actually list ingredient percentages. That shouldn’t feel revolutionary, but in skincare it kind of is. It makes me feel like they’re not just sprinkling fairy dust and calling it “peptide complex.” The texture is super lightweight and water-based. Basically disappears into your skin in seconds. No stickiness, no heaviness, no weird film. It layers beautifully too. I pat it on, wait like 20–30 seconds, then go in with moisturizer and sunscreen without anything pilling up. Zero drama. After a couple weeks, I started noticing my skin just looked… healthier. Not tighter like I got work done. Just smoother and a little plumper. That soft, hydrated look where fine lines aren’t screaming at you as much. Especially around my smile lines and forehead. They’re still there because, you know, I’m a human who laughs and exists. But they look softer and less pronounced. My skin also feels more “springy,” if that makes sense. Like when you press your cheek and it bounces back instead of just staying tired. And it’s gentle. No stinging, no redness, no breakouts. I use it morning and night without even thinking about it. If I had to nitpick anything, it’s not an overnight miracle. It’s more of a slow-and-steady improvement situation. But honestly, that’s how most good skincare works anyway. For $12 though? It feels kind of ridiculous how well it performs. I’ve tried serums triple the price that did less. Final thoughts: If you want to dip your toes into peptides without committing your entire paycheck, this is such an easy yes. Lightweight, effective, and refreshingly honest about what’s actually inside. It’s one of those quiet, reliable products that just makes your skin look better over time. Which is exactly what I want.

I think I'll grab another bottle of this.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works fine I believe this gives my argireline & matrixyl 3000 along with copper peptides a really good boost actually, I wasn't that impressed at first but now I've been using it a while I can tell it's been helping . It's NOT greasy at all and absorbes really fast and well. I've noticed some of my wrinkles have deminished and some have softened a great bit. It's semi thick but not where it's sticky or tacky. Just enough that it doesn't feel or look like water. Which is great consistency. I've noticed my darker spots and skin has brightened up a good bit where I had more skin issues from the sun has lightened up but this also could be a number of products that I am using. But I do believe this one has been helping a good bit with my others. I'd get this again

Amazing!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this product. I use it daily in the AM and PM and it's a staple in my skin care routine. Glides on, absorbs quickly, noticeable difference in fine lines, much better (and more affordable) than other name brands I have tried.
