1089149 - Holding an orange and white paper-backed copy of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Sir Allen Lane, Chairman of Penguin Books, is pictured as he addressed a Press conference at the company's offices in High Holborn, London, after an Old Bailey jury had reached a verdict which means that the novel can be published in Britain just as Lawrence wrote it. The jury decided that the Penguin Book Company Ltd were not guilty of publishing an obscene article - an unexpurgated version of the novel. Sir Allen said it would probably be another week when the public could buy the book. 200,000 were printed so far and another 200,000 or 300,000 would probably follow. 2nd November 1960.
