Photograph archive and album. Album title: Visit to Lahore of His Highness Skeikh Zayed bin Sultan Alnahayyani the ruler of Abudhabi 16th to 28th November 1967.

1967L2SFGIMNES3FPakistan 1967. Original black half morocco album green cloth sides with title and emblem of the United Bank Limited Pakistan on the front board. An archive of 183 photographs: 133 loose black and white photographic prints ca. 30 x 25 cm 30 smaller ones ca. 5 x 6 cm numbered and mounted together on a single sheet of paper and 20 additional prints in the album. Further with numerous rolls of original medium format negatives. A trove of unpublished photographs depicting two official visits to Pakistan by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The earlier visit in 1967 is documented by a separate photo album containing images of the visit to Lahore the second largest city of Pakistan from 16 to 28 November 1967. The album opens with a picture of HH Sheikh Zayed arriving in his car; later pictures show him being honoured and presented with an album very similar to the present one and in the company of officials representing Pakistans United Bank Limited UBL. Almost 20 years later in 1986 Sheikh Zayed would donate a hospital to the city now the "Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex" one of the leading medical institutions in Pakistan.The 30 small photographs show an audience with Sheikh Zayed as well as a banquet in his honour attended by various Pakistani dignitaries including Agha Hasan Abedi 1922-1995 the illustrious founder of UBL. These photos apparently clipped from a set of medium format contact prints are mounted on a sheet of coated black photographic paper.The largest set in size and number shows the state visit that took place on 20-22 January 1970 at the invitation of President Yahya Khan 1917-1980. It provides extensive documentation of the large Abu Dhabi delegation being formally received by Yahya Khan who served as president of Pakistan from March 1969 to December 1971. Many show HH Sheikh Zayed shaking hands with and speaking to President Yahya; others show the airport reception formal dinners speeches but also informal conversations members of the delegation handling falcons and numerous high-ranking Abu Dhabi retainers. Among the persons depicted is again Agha Hasan Abedi but there are also several pictures of Butti bin Bishr secretary to Sheikh Zayed and Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Suwaidi the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE and personal representative of Sheikh Zayed. President Yahya Khan had been "one of the very first international leaders to reach out to Sheikh Zayed after the UAE had been founded and had prior to this in July 1970 been instrumental in creating an agreement to provide technical assistance to the then Trucial States. With the December 1971 union agreement approaching Pakistan was quick to forge even closer ties and Khan had been one of the first foreign leaders to offer his congratulations and reiterate his countrys support when the UAE was born. Full diplomatic ties were then quickly established and Pakistan became one of the first to extend recognition to the new country . All his life Sheikh Zayed had held a personal affinity for Pakistan. He had hunted there extensively came to know the people its culture and lands and enjoyed close ties with leaders" Wilson.From the estate of Azhar Abbas Hashmi 1940-2016 Pakistani financial manager and eminent literary patron with close ties to Karachi University.

This classic first history of New York was bound for an eminent Americana collector and founding member of New York's Grolier Club by the bindery he helped organize. According to Larnard this history "ranks with Smith’s Virginia and Hutchinson’s Massachusetts as one of the worthiest examples of historical literature produced in later colonial times." Sabin notes that Smith based this work "chiefly on the Provincial Laws the Minutes of the Council the Journals of the General Assembly and other government records" and drew heavily on the works of Charlevoix and on Colden's "History of the Five Indian Nations. About three-quarters of the text is devoted to the colony's history up to the year 1732 while the rest describes the territory and provides geographical demographic and political information. The son of one of New York's most prominent lawyers judges and legal educators Smith 1728-93 showed an early talent for writing. At age 24 he compiled the first collection of the "Laws of New-York from the year 1691 to 1751 inclusive" 1752 with his friend William Livingston and the following year he co-produced New York's first magazine "Independent Reflector." According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography the present history "served him well over the years giving him a wide reputation as an authority on the colony and he was often referred to as 'the historian of New York'; 20 years later he began a second volume published posthumously." A Loyalist during the American Revolution Smith emigrated to Canada after the war. Former owner Edwin Holden 1861-1906 was a prominent American bibliophile who collected Americana English literature 16th and 17th century printed books and French illustrated books. After the Grolier Club was established in 1884 it soon became apparent that the country's few established hand binders were overtaxed in providing repairs and rebinding for the club members' rapidly accumulating acquisitions. As a consequence in 1895 Grolier members led by Robert Hoe and Holden along with other wealthy collectors instituted the Club Bindery in order to attract European craftsmen to provide close to home fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The Club Bindery was in operation until 1909 with Hoe being its most influential manager and client. It provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell. They were subsequently joined by a number of French binders chief among them being Leon Maillard who had worked previously for Cuzin Gruel and Marius-Michel. Holden served as president of Grolier Club in 1906 and was the first president of the Club Bindery. Printed for Thomas Wilcox unknown

Collection of four very important and meaningful manuscript letters by Leopold II to his administrator and Foreign Minister of the Congo - Free-State Baron Adolphe de Cuvelier 1860-1931 with a total of 16 pages filled with Leopold's instructions on pressing issues regarding a warning about an imminent visit by the Rector of the Mill-Hill Missionaries probably Herbert Alfred Henry Vaughan 1832 - 1903 and Leopold's qualification of the visit of being detrimental to the Congo Free State "ne travaillent pas pour l'État". Leopold continues in another letter to talk about the hostile positions of english officials consuls and missionaries "que les consuls anglais et les missionnaires anglais se conduisent bien mal envers l'État". Interestingly Leopold also touches on the nuisance of the german press criticizing Belgian Railway Lines and he is of the opinion that this is all happening in order to force the german parliament "Reichstag" to finance the building of the Tanganyika Railway between Dar

The leaves with different sizes 135 cm x 9 cm and 18 cm x 115 cm. Excellent condition. Unsigned. Tremendously rare to find original letters by Leopold II on the open market in which the Colonial Free State and the protection against inquisitive visitors is discussed in such clear and instructive fashion. Leopold's correspondence with Adolphe de Cuvelier shows how he is very much trying to still protect and influence the narrative of his Colonial Slavery Outpost even in the final years of his life. Adolphe de Cuvelier 1860-1931 Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Congo Free State President of the Syndicate for Studies and Enterprises in Congo. He was given the title of knight in 1893 and baron in 1908 each transferable at first birth. Wikipedia _______________________________ Leopold II French: Léopold Louis Philippe Marie Victor; 9 April 1835 17 December 1909 was the second King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909 and through his own efforts the owner and absolute ruler of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908. Born in Brussels as the second but eldest surviving son of Leopold I and Louise of Orléans he succeeded his father to the Belgian throne in 1865 and reigned for exactly 44 years until his deaththe longest reign of any Belgian monarch. He died without surviving legitimate sons. The current Belgian king descends from his nephew and successor Albert I. Leopold was the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State a private project undertaken on his own behalf as a personal union with Belgium. He used Henry Morton Stanley to help him lay claim to the Congo the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the Berlin Conference of 18841885 the colonial nations of Europe authorized his claim and committed the Congo Free State to him. Leopold ran the Congo using the mercenary Force Publique for his personal gain. He extracted a fortune from the territory initially by the collection of ivory and after a rise in the price of natural rubber in the 1890s by forced labour from the native population to harvest and process rubber. Leopold's administration of the Congo Free State was characterised by atrocities and systematic brutality including torture murder and the amputation of the hands of men women and children when the quota of rubber was not met. In 1890 George Washington Williams used the term "crimes against humanity" to describe the practices of Leopold II of Belgium's administration of the Congo Free State. Colonial accounts typically emphasized Leopold's modernizing changes in the Congo and not the mass death he facilitated. These and other facts were established at the time by eyewitness testimony on-site inspection by an international commission of inquiry and the 1904 Casement Report. Modern estimates range from 1 million to 15 million Congolese deaths with a consensus growing around 10 million. Some historians argue against these figures citing the lack of reliable censuses the enormous mortality caused by smallpox and African trypanosomiasis and the fact that there were only 175 administrative agents in charge of rubber exploitation. In 1908 the reports of deaths and abuse and pressure from the Congo Reform Association and other international groups induced the Belgian government to take over the administration of the Congo from Leopold as a new territory Belgian Congo.
