Viscount Carlow

Viscount CarlowPublisher of the Corvinus Press. George Lionel Seymour Dawson-Damer, styled Viscount Carlow (a Viscountcy in the Peerage of Ireland) was an Air Commodore with the Auxiliary RAF. As a young lieutenant in the British army, he met T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia" ); their shared interest in fine printing and book collecting led to Carlow's founding of the Corvinus Press in 1936. His first titles were several limited editions by and about Lawrence. Titles by other contemporary writers, including Louis Golding, L. A. G. Strong, and Edmund Blunden, followed. Seeking new manuscripts, he contacted JJ in 1936, who suggested the publication of Storiella as She Is Syung. Published in 1937, it was one of the press's most elaborate productions, using a variety of typefaces in black and red ink, an initial letter designed by Lucia Joyce, and an orange binding with the title printed in gold. JJ and Carlow corresponded occasionally through the next few years. The Corvinus Press published some 58 titles through 1945. An avid pilot throughout his adult life, Carlow was killed in action towards the end of World War II. William Brockman

卡洛子爵（Viscount Carlow）系科维努斯出版社（Corvinus Press）的创办者。乔治·莱昂内尔·西摩·道森-达默，尊称卡洛子爵（爱尔兰贵族爵位体系中的子爵爵位），曾服役于英国皇家空军辅助部队，军衔为空军准将。在英国陆军担任年轻中尉期间，他结识了T.E.劳伦斯（“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”）；二人对精美印刷与藏书的共同爱好，促使卡洛子爵于1936年创立科维努斯出版社。该社首批出版物为数部劳伦斯本人撰写或与其相关的限量版书籍，随后又推出了包括路易斯·戈尔丁、L.A.G.斯特朗与埃德蒙·布伦登在内的同期其他作家的作品。为寻觅新的手稿，他于1936年联系了JJ，后者提议出版《Storiella as She Is Syung》。该书于1937年正式付梓，是该社最为精致的出版物之一：采用黑红双色油墨搭配多款字体，配有露西娅·乔伊斯设计的首字母装饰，以及烫金书名的橙色装帧。此后数年间，JJ与卡洛子爵时有书信往来。截至1945年，科维努斯出版社共计出版约58部作品。卡洛子爵成年后始终热衷飞行，最终于二战末期阵亡。威廉·布罗克曼
