The Collectors: T.E. Lawrence
T E Lawrence, famous as "Lawrence of Arabia", whilst a schoolboy he showed a deep rooted enthusiasm for medieval brasses, pottery, decorated paving tiles and dated glass bottles. Later he added castle architecture to his interests and submitted a thesis on crusader castles, having walked some 1,100 miles through Syria, in the hottest two months of the year. This photograph was taken during the Arab Revolt. Thomas Edward (Ned) Lawrence
