SUMMARY:

  • Thomas Edward Lawrence (16 August 1888 – 19 May 1935) was a British archaeologist, army officer, diplomat, and writer who became renowned for his role in the Arab Revolt (1916–1918) and the Sinai and Palestine Campaign (1915–1918) against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title used for the 1962 film based on his wartime activities.


  • Hillside Press is the imprint of Frank E. and Eleanor Irwin and is one of the six renaissance miniature book publishers in the U.S. They published their first book in Franklin, New Hampshire in 1961 before moving to Tilton, New Hampshire in 1970, then to Buffalo, New York in 1977. Using a hand-fed Golding Press, the Irwins printed from handset type and hand-bound their books. Frank Irwin wrote some of the books and even did some illustrations for them. They did everything by hand except make their own paper. After Frank Irwin died in 1980, Eleanor Irwin published fourteen additional miniature books, doing all of the printing and binding herself.
