(Aldershot, England) Scolar Press (1994) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket lvi, 245+(1) pages
First edition. The Corvinus Press was founded in 1936 by Viscount Carlow, and produced a number of books of typographic and literary importance before Carlow was killed in action in 1944. Carlow was a personal friend of T.E. Lawrence, and was invited to serve on one of the trusts set up to administer Lawrence's estate. This gave him access to Lawrence's unpublished works and inspired him with the idea of printing them himself as an appropriate memorial to his friend. This book provides a full description of all books printed by Lord Carlow as well as substantial appendices, giving details of ephemera, typefaces and papers, and a checklist of books from the Dropmore Press, which took over the stock and equipment of Corvinus in 1945.
