The first appearances in print of the four articles by Lowell Thomas that launched T. E. Lawrence into the spotlight. They include some of the earliest photographs of Feisal, the Bedouins, and Lawrence himself, who met with Thomas regularly in 1919 to assist with the writing process. Lowell Thomas (1892-1981) was first introduced to Lawrence in 1918, when he travelled to Jerusalem to film the war in the Middle East. He was soon invited to Feisal's camp, where he shot film and images of Lawrence in Arab clothing. These would form the basis of his multimedia show With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia in 1919. This show was the beginning of Lawrence's rise to fame, running in New York, London, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Canada. Thomas continued to promote and publicize Lawrence, partly by writing many articles about his exploits. The earliest of these articles appeared in four issues of the 1919 volume of Asia: The American Magazine on the Orient. This present volume is a complete set of issues from that year. The four articles in question are Mr. Lowell Thomas (July, pp. 623-28), Thomas Lawrence, Prince of Mecca (September, pp. 818-29), With Lawrence and Feisal in Arabia (October, pp. 998-1016), and The Matinée Idol of Arabia (December, pp. 1205-13). Thomas writes about his time filming and shooting Lawrence, including many anecdotes and stories that would go on to make this officer "one of the most romantic figures of the war" (p. 820). The articles are richly illustrated with half-tone photographic illustrations of Feisal, the Bedouins, battlefields, and many shots of Lawrence himself. This includes the famous image of Lawrence, Hogarth, and Dawnay in Cairo in 1918 (p. 1209). O'Brien G0012. 12 issues bound in one, large octavo (304 x 215 mm). Illustrations in text. Contemporary brown cloth library binding, spine lettered in gilt and brown, ruled in gilt, binder's ticket to front pastedown of "Wagerwood & Co". Numerous accession and withdrawal stamps in purple or blind of "The Public Library, Ann Arbor, Mich." to each issue.
