Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 2008 Museum of London Archaeology Service large format hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the cover: The East Smithfield Black Death cemetery was excavated in 1986-8 as part of the Royal Mint site. Founded in 1348/9, it was one of two emergency burial grounds established when the Black Death came to London. The work reported here represents the only large-scale excavation and post-excavation analysis of a proven Black Death cemetery in this country and is indisputably of international importance in terms of its archaeology and the human bone assemblage derived from the c.759 burials found. Two distinct burial areas were established, both using a combination of well-ordered individual graves and mass burial trenches. The burial practices and the human bone assemblage are analysed and discussed in relation to Black Death studies in London and elsewhere.The impact of the plague on medieval London and the importance of this cemetery, and that at West Smithfield, in the city's attempts to cope with the disaster are both assessed. The earlier history of the site and the influence of the Black Death cemetery on the subsequent use of the site are also examined, particularly its effect on the later foundation and layout of the Cistercian abbey of St Mary Graces.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1996 Sutton Publishing large format hardcover edition plus microfiche. Light reading wear else very good condition. This volume represents the second report on a major project of archaeological survey and excavation carried out between 1974 and 1982 by the Viking and Early Settlement Archaeological Research Project (VESARP) based at Durham University, together with subsequent work by VESARP on an archival project and reports on fieldwork by other archaeologists between 1978 and 1989 in the area. Birsay Bay Project Volume 1 was concerned with the Brough Road excavations 1976-82. This volume looks at sites in Birsay Village and on the Brough of Birsay. The archaeological importance and significance of the Birsay Bay area of Orkney, particularly in the Viking and Late Norse periods, is again demonstrated in this volume which concerns itself with the well-known monuments of St Magnus' Kirk, the Earl's Palace and the Brough of Birsay, together with the newly-identified site at Beachview, immediately to the south of the Burn of Boardhouse in Birsay Village. The work directed by John Barber on the St Magnus' Kirk site has demonstrated the existence of remains of earlier ecclesiastical structures below the present building and contributes new information to the discussion of the location of the Christchurch Minster of the Orkneyinga Saga, as well as demonstrating the presence of a primary burnt mound on the site. Excavations by John Lewis and Beverley Ballin Smith at the Earl's Palace, together with renewed analysis of historical documentation by Denys Pringle, enable an up-to-date assessment to be made of the significance of this second major historic monument in the area of Birsay Village. Detailed analyses by Norman Emery and Christopher Morris of the unpublished records of the work on the Brough of Birsay between 1934 and 1939 are here presented for the first time. They demonstrate that this work uncovered a major complex of structures of the Pictish, Viking and Late Norse periods around a small church, itself discovered in 1866 by Sir Henry Dryden, whose work is also assessed here by Richard Fawcett.…

With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source.

Hardcover. Limited and numbered issue of 2008. This Castle Hill Press reproduction of the original Portraits for Seven Pillars of Wisdom was initially conceived to accompany the 1997 first Castle Hill Press limited edition of the full 1922 "Oxford Text" of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This Portraits volume is a stunning visual accompaniment to any Seven Pillars of Wisdom text, featuring 41 full-page Seven Pillars Portraits, 26 in full color. These are the portraits originally commissioned by Lawrence himself for his magnificent and legendary 1926 Subscriber's edition.Castle Hill Press was headed by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017). Years after the 1997 edition of Seven Pillars and the accompanying issuance of the Portraits, Wilson's Castle Hill Press issued a limited number of this stand-alone Portraits volume. In 2008, 220 sets of portraits were issued thus, bound in quarter linen cloth over tan, laid paper-covered boards. The binding measures a substantial 11.375 x 8.125 inches (28.89 x 20.64 cm). The limitation page is hand-numbered in red ink, this copy being "215." This copy was acquired by us directly from the publisher and is in as new condition, unread and immaculately clean, inside and out.Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the story of T. E. Lawrence's (1888-1935) remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia." This time defined Lawrence with indelible experience and celebrity, which he spent the rest of his short life struggling to reconcile and reject, to recount and repress. Lawrence famously resisted publication of his magnum opus for the general public during his lifetime. After numerous drafts, abandonments, and revisions, in 1922, a 335,000 word version was carefully circulated to select friends and literary critics - the famous "Oxford Text". George Bernard Shaw called it "a masterpiece".Nonetheless, Lawrence was unready to see it distributed to the public. In 1926, a further edited 250,000 word "Subscriber's Edition" was produced by Lawrence - but only slightly more than 200 copies were made, each lavishly and uniquely bound. The process cost Lawrence far more than he made in subscriptions. The portraits commissioned by Lawrence for the edition from Frank Dobson, Colin Gill, Augustus John, Eric Kennington, Henry Lamb, William Nicholson, William Roberts, William Rothenstein, John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Spencer, and R. M. Young were an essential part of the elaborate effort that produced the famous edition. Eric Henri Kennington (1888-1960), himself a veteran of the First World War, was by far the dominant artistic vision in these portraits, responsible for 24 of the 41 and serving as art editor for the 1926 Subscriber's Edition. Kennington actually traveled to the Middle East in order to draw his subjects from life, rather than from photographs, collecting portraits on a private journey through Trans-Jordan and the Hejaz. Known as a painter, print maker, and sculptor, Kennington was best regarded as "a born painter of the nameless heroes of the rank and file" whom he portrayed during both the First and Second World Wars. After the First World War, Kennington met T. E. Lawrence at an exhibition of Kennington's war art. It is a credit to Kennington's portraiture that he was even able to capture Lawrence's own fretful relationship with his own fame. After Kennington produced a bust of Lawrence, the subject wrote to the sculptor "It represents not me, but my top-moments, those few seconds in which I succeed in thinking myself right out of things." In 1935, Kennington served as one of Lawrence's pallbearers. Kennington's portraits, and those of his fellow artists, were considered by Lawrence an essential accompanying element to his text. It is difficult not to agree.…
