16 pages. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a unique and captivating account of an archaeological journey through the air, undertaken by Crawford, at his own expense, to Egypt, Trans-Jordan, and Iraq. Having secured the cordial interest of the British Air Ministry and of the officers commanding the air forces in those countries, he was able to select from their negatives several thousand important pictures, which he brought home with him, to take part himself in flights over the areas of particular interest, and to leave behind him an awakened interest in the objects for which he had made the journey. A fascinating glimpse into what he was able to collect and to achieve, which has been of immeasurable value from an archaeological point of view, for example by revealing a buried site which previously could have only been revealed by perhaps years of excavation. Photographs include that of a ruined town on the Tigris between Mosul and Baghdad, seventy miles south-west of Mosul in the grassy desert; the Palace situated on the Persian Plateau in Hatra and its courtyard not previously observed; the so-called Median Wall; the Arch of Ctesiphon; as well as Old Basra and Modern Basra.

Interesting narrative from a learned source, Sir Percy Cox, adviser to the Sultan of Oman and long term resident of the Persian Gulf.

Features descriptions of Oman's capital - Muscat, the Trucial coast, its principalities and the Great Pearl Bank, local fauna, 'the music of the sands,' Ras al Khaima, stronghold of the Jowasmi pirates, and most interestingly perhaps, encounters with local sheikhs.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Major-General Sir Percy Zachariah Cox, GCMG, GCIE, KCSI (1864-1937) was a British Indian Army officer and colonial administrator in the Middle East. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, he was one of the major figures in the creation of Iraq. He was commonly known as Coccus (and as Kokkus to the Arabs). After holding minor administrative appointments in Kolhapur and Savantvadi in India, Cox was posted to British Somaliland, which was then administered from India, as Assistant Political Resident at Zeila. He transferred to Berbera in 1894. He was promoted to Captain in February 1895. In May 1895 he was given command of an expedition against the Red Hared clan, which had blocked trade routes and was raiding the coast. With only 52 Indian and Somali regulars and 1,500 poor quality, untrained local irregulars, he defeated the Red Hared in six weeks. Later that year, he was promoted to be assistant to the Viceroy's agent in Baroda. In October 1899, Cox was appointed Political Agent and Consul at Muscat, inheriting a tense situation between the British, who regarded the area as under their influence, Sultan Feisal, the local ruler, and the French, who gave protection to the local slave trade and had leased a coaling station from Feisal for their navy. Cox managed to successfully end French influence in the area. In June 1904, Cox was appointed Acting Political Resident in the Persian Gulf and Consul-General for the Persian provinces of Fars, Lurestan and Khuzestan and the district of Lingah, residing in the Persian side of the gulf at the city of Bushire. Five years later he was confirmed as Resident, a post which he occupied highly successfully until 1914, when he was appointed Secretary to the Government of India. Among his achievements while at Bushire was the establishment of the state of Kuwait as an autonomous kaza within the Ottoman Empire by the Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in February 1910. Shortly after his return to India, he was sent back to the Persian Gulf as Chief Political Officer with the Indian Expeditionary Force to fight against the Ottoman Empire during WWI. Taking part in the campaigns in Mesopotamia and Palestine, he was promoted to Honorary Major-General in May 1917. During this time he established strong relations with Ibn Saud, the powerful ruler of the Nejd, with whom he had already had dealings while Resident. At the end of hostilities with the Ottoman Empire in November 1918, Cox was appointed Acting Minister in Tehran, negotiating the Anglo-Persian Agreement.

Two Reports on the Gilf Kebir in One Complete Issue of the Royal Geographical Society. 11 pages, including a full-page sketch map. Plus several photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Featuring the Clayton-Almàsy Expedition of 1932 drawn from the late Robert Clayton's notes and diaries (he died of poiomyelitis within two months of leaving the Gilf Kebir) and written by one of Clayton's companions on the expedition, P A Clayton, of the Egyptian Survey Department. Much of the area's reconnaissance was conducted from Robert Clayton's Gypsy Moth but the near disaster that befell Clayton and Penderel occurred when the two became lost whilst returning by car to pick up provisions from Dune Camp. Excerpt from the text: "That wait was the worst time I have ever had. I thought of Tankards of beer, England, and all the wet things one does think about on these occasions, wondered why I had spent a lot of money to go and die in a desert, and trying to think what to do about last letters, will, etc. I remebered all the lovely descriptions of people dying of thirst that I have read about and realized that they were mild in comparison. Finally, I thought of all the drinks I have refused, all the wickednesses I might have committed, and again of water..." End excerpt. "The Western Side of the Gilf Kebir" is P A Clayton's 1931 survey of the area traversed in the Clayton-Almàsy Expedition, followed by an account in his own words of the expedition's intentions to reconnoitre the top of the Gilf Kebir plateau and to examine the district between Gebel Arkenu and the southern tip of the Gilf.
