Catalogue Note
THE RARE SECOND STATE PROSPECTUS (RESET), TOGETHER WITH THE 'NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS'. The unillustrated first state of The Foundations of Arab Revolt was printed in a very small edition in 1924 and circulated to potential subscribers as a prospectus for the 'Subscriber's' edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The printing of the full edition was delayed however for a number of reasons, so a second issue of the prospectus was prepared, omitting the introductory chapter of the first state, but adding a frontispiece and a line illustration, and containing the text of chapters I-VII. The second state was sent out together with the letterpress "Notice to Subscribers" (tipped-in to this copy), which explains the reasons for the delay.
