THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 15, 1935 

* Lawrence of Arabia motorcycle accident
* Would die less than a week later
 

The front page has one column headings: "LAWRENCE LINGERS, BUT HOPE IS FAINT" "Condition of Hero of Arabian Revolt Is Too Critical to Permit an Operation" "He Is Still Unconcious" and more. (see) Coverage on the motorcycle accident that would be fatal to Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 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. Nice condition.
