192216240War Office for the Geographical Society 1922. Chromolithograph map. Map of northern Arabia by the Royal Geographical Society in 1922 including Jordan Kuwait and southern Iraq. As one of the first European surveys of the region the map reflects the British government's early efforts to shore up alliances in the area around the time of World War I. The map is likely the work of Douglas Carruthers a cartographer for the British War Office. Caruthers worked alongside Harry St. John Bridgen Philby Gertrude Bell T.E. Lawrence and Captain William Shakepsear the latter of which is noted on the chart. The map detail features altitude contour lines lakes rivers and seasonal stream courses wadis .The chart is presented in three colours showing waters in blue desert areas in brown and place names roads and railways in black. The Jaffa-Jersualem railway fragment is included along with the Hejaz Railway running through Amman in the north and travelling south to Medina. This railway was intended to extend to Mecca but World War I halted efforts to complete it. The Nefud Desert and its prominent dunes are depicted in the centre of the map. Caruthers has added overprinted notations in red to highlight the successes of Captain William Shakespear who was the first European to map the north-central part of the Arabian Peninsula. His journeys from 1910-1914 helped to map the previously unchartered Nefud and also established Shakespear's relationship to Ibn Saud who went on to become the King of Arabia therefore cementing the British political links to the ruling family.

Two volumes octavo with lithographed title-pages large folding map repaired and 51 lithographed plates a few folding or coloured and small text illustrations; contemporary half calf with marbled boards. <p><p>Thomas Livingstone Mitchell was appointed to succeed Oxley as Surveyor General of New South Wales in 1828. The first expedition described here was undertaken to establish the veracity of a story spread about the colony by escaped convict George Clarke "The Barber" who claimed to have discovered a large river flowing to the north of Australia known by the Aboriginal name of Kindur. This expedition investigated the Namoi Gwydir and Barwon rivers but failed to prove or disprove the existence of the Kindur.</p> <p>The second and third expeditions were both aimed at fully determining the course of the Darling River extending on Sturt's earlier discoveries. Despite meeting hostilities with local Aboriginal tribes resulting in a retreat to Sydney and dismissing Burke's specific instructions regarding the Darling Mitchell went on to make a discovery of the greatest importance: the rich lands of western Victoria which he named Australia Felix in 1836.</p> <p>As well as being a fine surveyor Mitchell was an accomplished draughtsman and the plates in the book are all after his own drawings.</p> <p>This is the second edition revised and extended from the first publication the previous year. Despite the huge European interest in Australian exploration reflected in the number of titles published in London mid-century only Mitchell's and Sturt's journals would run into second editions.</p> </p> .
