THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 14, 1935
* Lawrence of Arabia motorcycle accident (1st report)
* Would die less than a week later
The front page has a two column heading: "Lawrence of Arabia Dying After Crash on Motor Cycle" with subhead. (see) reporting continues on page 4 with two photos. 1st report coverage of the motorcycle accident that would be fatal to Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Minor spine wear, very nice condition.
