Christie's, London, 7 June 2006, lot 102; Paul Frederick Helfer (1936-2015); Christie's, New York, 8 December 2015, lot 259

Description

C. and C. McLeish, run by Charles McLeish (1859-1949) and his son, was one of the best binderies in London - the elder McLeish having worked for Riviere and the Doves Press before establishing his own bindery. Lawrence sent copies of the 1926 Seven Pillars of Wisdom to various binders, stipulating that each copy should be different, but McLeish was entrusted with more copies than any other single binder. The delay with the printer mentioned by Lawrence was a result of Eric Kennington finding faults with certain plates. For an example of McLeish's work see previous lot.
