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.

8vo. 14 pages including a full page sketch map from the travels of Hermann von Wissman, plus photographic plates for illustration. 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. Escorted by an officer of the Mukalla Irregular Army, Ingrams left Mukalla on 25 March 1939 to visit the Hajr Province, driving up the Wadi [valley] Kherba where the 'Akabira tribes reside, through the settlement of Lijmat replete with date groves, to Al Qerba, and into uncharted little inhabited valleys which revealed the presence of early civilizations. In the environs of a place she calls 'Qarif Ba Dhala' she comes across some stone inscriptions resembling those of ancient Egypt, ad sent some to Mukalla for examination. Also sighted was stating "... many heaps of stones set in circles with large upright ones in the midst of them..." possibly old Islamic gravesites. Finally arriving at the fields of Wadi Yuwan, which was dispersed with eight separate villages and grand date palms, the traveller and peace advocate was hospitably received, presenting an opportunity to describe and assess local custom. Further inscriptions were found at Wadi Mardaha, about three and half hours from Al Jinein, again likening Egyptian hieroglyphics. Ingrams notes differences in the valleys of Kanina and Hajr, from other regions of the Hadhramaut Valley, the dwellings for example being crafted of stone held together with a mud and straw plaster, and being five or six stories high with narrow windows, the Subian women being unveiled, and the men appearing rather fit by comparison. Cave dwelling are also seen, being an encampment of Ba Dubian Badawin, or Bedouin. She also learns of lingering contempt between the Al Zagheib and Ba Rasheid [Al Rasheed], and acts of retaliation. The custom of tattooing is less appreciated by the traveller, but none the less recorded as one of the earliest descriptions, following that of Freya Stark in 1936. Ingrams states... "The percentage of good looks is high in Yuwan, where the women have shapely, tapering faces, broad foreheads, wide full lips and straight noses, but they sometimes mar their appearance by tattooing, and the young married women consider it attractive to paint the upper half of their faces yellow and the lower half green." Harold Ingram was the first British Resident Adviser in the Hadhramaut in South Arabia. Mrs. [Doreen] Ingrams travelled on donkey and camel to far distant parts of the country, helping him to bring about the peace among the warring tribes which became known throughout Arabia as 'Ingram's Peace'.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating travel account by the well-known traveller and geologist, Dr. Harrison, an account of the difficulties and the hardships of his journeys in Luristan, the broken mountainous country on the Iraq boundary, a rather inaccessible region of magnificent scenery. Cognisant of the dangers, Harrison travelled with a nominal escort and kept the mule caravan as small and unpretentious as possible. After his twenty years dedicated to exploration in Persia, he describes changes "from anarchy to order, from the primitive to the sophisticated, from distinctive tribal dress to uniform shabby hand-me-downs".

This is an interesting report on the then much disputed boundary between the Kingdom of Iraq and the Republic of Turkey from 1923-25, which according to the author was partly as a result of poor mapping and unsurveyed areas, the author also discusses the interference of the League of Nations in settling the issue, accompanied by spectacular fold-out colour map.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating expedition report on Nuristan - the little known part of the Hindu Kush which lies inside Afghanistan to the north of Jalalabad along the Chitral border. Excerpt from the introduction: "Sir George Scott Robertson was the first European to visit this country, in 1889. Nuristan was then independent, and known as Kafiristan and its inhabitants as Kafirs. Kipling wrote his famous story "The Man Who Would Be King" about this country. Two important German Expeditions travelled extensively in Nuristan, and owing to that the Nuristans refer to all Europeans as Germans..." End Excerpt Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers. Thesiger had the immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the peoples and places he explored and visited. His work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq.

Some crease to pages and wrappers, otherwise this is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The author focuses on the plateau of Sarhad, including the massive Kih-i-Taftan volcano, a region which he names 'the Highlands of Persian Baluchistan,' both because of the pre-eminent height of its mountain masses and because of the traditional wildness and ferocity of the hill tribes which inhabit it. The then Persian sub-province of Baluchistan was formerly a part of the Kerman Ayalat. Skrine describes interesting Sarhad features from various perspectives: botany, geology, ethnology and history. Featuring the earth pillar at Tamindan, descriptions of Sarhad's capital - Vasht or Khwash; the indigenous Damanis; Gwarkuh; Bazman; the Ropask glen and the tombs of the Seventy Mullahs; the people of Anjirak; aboriginal Sarhaddis and the Shrine of the Chihil Tan or Forty Beings, Mecca of Sarhad.
A spectacular detailed fold-out color map, measuring 11 x 11 inches (28 x 28cm), in original condition. The map is taken from "A Further Journey Across the Empty Quarter", published in June 1949 issue of the Royal Geographical Society, illustrating Thesiger's journey through western and northern Rub al Khali from November 1947 to May 1948. Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers among the Arabs, his narrative is vividly written. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq. But he says that none of these places moved him as did the deserts of Arabia. He spent five years in the region travelling on camels and on foot across some ten thousand miles of a vast empty land. What he found, as in his time with the people of the Iraq marshes which he described in his book The Marsh Arabs, was a way on life on the threshold of destruction.
8vo. 17 pages including a sketch map map, plus photographic plates for illustration. 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. Delving beyond the geographical wonders of Makran's waterless rivers and mountain ranges, aside from the objective of geologically mapping a strip along the coast 50 miles wide, from Jask to the Baluchistan border, Harrison describes the native way of life. By examining the then sultan-governed region in a series of inland traverses, he encounters and interacts with the Baloch people as well as Muslims. Of the Balochs, Harrison provides a substantial account of customs including survival and sustenance in a harsh land, graves, costume, date harvesting, and much more. Illustrations show graves, a cliff dwelling, mat huts, the badlands near Bandini, and a mud volcano. One of Makran's outstanding features described is the water-courses seldom contained water and had subsequently become the natural roads for travel, where the means were limited to camels or donkeys. Other geological aspects were perplexing findings, and described in scientific terms. Of the scientific explorers of Persian Baluchistan, J.V. Harrison, D.Sc., occupied a leading role. By the time of this account, the author had been for twenty years a member of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and had made numerous expeditions to the area, the first being in 1917. In the present account he describes a journey made in 1932, part of a multi-year undertaking with plans made for as far ahead as 1937.
