NL-07001<p><em><strong>Rare map of Yemen compiled by indigenous cartographer.</strong></em></p><p>This striking and historically significant map entitled <em>The Yemen</em> was compiled by the elusive Yemeni cartographer H. Althamary - an anglicisation of <strong>Husayn ʿAbd Allah Dhamari</strong> - who is one of a handful of non-western indigeous cartographers active during the first decades of Arab independence.</p><p>The map is rendered in warm ochres and yellows muted orange and bright blue conveying the country's varied elevation through a colour-coded relief scheme. The Red Sea coast forms the western boundary the Gulf of Aden defines the southern edge and the region of Asir marks the northern limit. The eastern frontier fades into the vastness of the <em>Rubʻ al-Khali</em> deliberately leaving the territory of the then-independent People's Democratic Republic of Yemen undefined. Strategically significant governorates including Taiz al-Baydaʾ and Maʾrib are clearly indicated.</p><p>HISTORICAL CONTEXT</p><p>The omission of South Yemen from the map reflects the tense political climate of the period. A brief border conflict erupted between the two Yemeni states in October 1972 resolved by the Cairo Agreement which proposed eventual unification. North Yemen was aligned with Saudi Arabia and the south with the Soviet Union. The two nations ultimately merged in 1990 forming the modern Republic of Yemen.</p><p>RARITY</p><p>The first edition of this map was published in Egypt in 1972 following the border conflict mentioned above. Both an Arabic edition and another English edition followed in 1976. <strong>Ours is a fine example of the second English edition. </strong>Althamary is alsoalso recognised for an equally rare companion map of Sanʿaʾ.</p><p>Institutional examples are recorded at only seven libraries worldwide OCLC no. 5485806 making this an exceptional rarity on the open market. Institutional holdings include the Library of Congress Cornell University the University of Exeter Leiden University and the National Library of Scotland.</p><p>PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION</p><p>Colour lithograph printed on thin paper. Some natural cockling but otherwise in excellent condition.</p>

Author and illustrators from prefatory remarks on page 2. Evident first edition. A church cookbook undertaken in support of a burgeoning suburban community to the south of Birmingham. With two hundred fifty attributed recipes; among them: Pear Relish with onions and peppers Black Cherry Salad Sea Food Gumbo Southern Pork Chops with Rice Baked Ham Sandwich Red Cabbage Casserole Squash Souffle Glazed Apricots Whole Grain Banana Bread Black Bottom Pie Caramel Cocoanut Cake Pineapple Torte. ~ Several small neighborhoods south of the Red Mountain ridge below Southside voted to incorporate in 1926 under the name Homewood. Still in the same year members of Trinity Methodist a mission church at Sixth Avenue and 31st Street saw the advantage of starting anew and purchased property on Oxmoor Road in the new municipality. The new church's doors opened as the Great Depression descended but the community revived after the Second World War and its sanctuary was renovated in 1950. Thus Trinity Methodist Church Cook Book appeared as construction invoices came due and as the silver anniversary of the congregation approached. ~ Formation of the Women's Society of Christian Service was the result of the merger of the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1939 the year of the emergence of the Methodist Church from the amalgamation of several regional manifestations of Wesleyan Methodism in North America. In 1972 after the next denominational merger the organization would unite with the Wesleyan Service Guild to form United Methodist Women. The illustrators presumably members of the congregation are otherwise unknown. ~ Interior clean save for a few spot-stains and minor age-darkening at the edges; several pages pulling at the ring holes.
