Title: From Oqair to the Ruins of Salwa. Author: Captain R. E. Cheesman Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: On a uniquely motivated expedition, for ornithological and archaeological research, in 1921 Cheesman ventured to the coastline near Bahrain, south of Oqair, which forms the Gulf of Salwa. In addition to the investigation of birds' migratory habits, Cheesman visited the area's extensive ruins and there made some important discoveries. An engaging account of the journey commence with those of the camel party itself, and vivid descriptions the city of Bahrain with its fresh water springs, ancient mounds and volcanic hills, an audience with the local important Sheik Isa and local date groves. Further commentary describes local fauna discovered on the difficult road to Salwa: Agama, sedge warblers, grasshopper warblers, a grey wagtail and mole rats (Nesokia). Aboard the "Baghala", the seascape was invaded, Cheesman reports, by thousands of small black Socotra Cormorant and once ashore, a pale example of the Desert lark was seen feeding, together with the Common Bee Eater, Pallid Harrier, Crested Lark, Blue-headed Wagtail as well as the Red-throated Pitpit, Yellow Wagtail, Crag Martins, Chiff Chaff and Sand Martins. Cheesman was a corresponding member of the Zoological Society of London, and this expedition into an unexplored tract of Arabia was first and foremost a pursuit of zoological knowledge in the area. Cheesman was the first European to travel across some of the desert areas (Murra, Jabrin) and his travels preceded those of Philby. He was also the first to map the Arabian coast from Uqair to the head of the Gulf of Salwa. Here he recounts the journey, lands untrodden by his European counterparts, and fascinating Arabian customs. [Subsequently, in 1923-24 he spent three months at Hufuf. Having fixed its position, he then mapped 150 miles of desert, he identified the site of the ancient Gerra, and corrected some serious mistakes relating to the wadi system. For this he was awarded the Gill Memorial Award by The Royal Geographical Society]. Having finally arrived at Salwa, however, Cheesman was directed to the ruins where some pieces of pottery, alabaster and similar relics were uncovered. On his two visits to the Salwa Bight, he made archaeological discoveries which showed that the site of the Gerra emporium was to be found in the immediate vicinity of the port of Oqair, and not at the head of Salwa Bay as was formerly supposed. Estimates suggested that the settlement may have originated from the Kindi epoch, around the 6th century AD. 8vo. 15 pages, plus a full page sketch map and 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. Major Robert Ernest Cheesman CBE (1878-1962) was a military officer, explorer and ornithologist. He was Private Secretary to Sir Percy Cox during his tenure as High Commissioner in Iraq. In 1923, during a journey into the Arabian Peninsula, Cheesman collected over 300 specimens from the Hasa oasis, several of them previously unknown to science. These specimens are currently in the British Museum. He is credited with discovering Cheesman's Gerbil (Gerbillus cheesmani). Cheesman was the first man to map the Arabian coast from the Gulf of Salwah to Uqair. In 1924 he fixed the position of Hofuf and identified the site of ancient Gerrha. He presented his findings to Ibn Sa'ud at his court in Hofuf. He was later given the Gill Memorial Award for this work by the Royal Geographical Society. In 1936 he was awarded the Patron's Gold Medal of the society for his explorations and surveys of the Blue Nile and Lake Tana.
30 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 18.5 x 20 inches (47 x 51cm). 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. An exciting first-hand record of Cheesman's travels across Arabia, illustrated with several plates and a spectacular colour map showing his routes in Eastern Nedj, between the 'Oqair and Jabrin oasis. Pre-dating his book, "In Unknown Arabia," published first in 1926. The author is revered for his travels and findings in northern parts of the Arabian desert, as he was the first European to travel across some parts, such as Murra and Jabrin; his travels preceded those of Philby. Inspired by the expedition undertaken by ornithologist Lieutenant Boyd Alexander, killed in a native dispute in Nyeri in 1909, Cheesman set off to bring back a collection of desert animals and birds from central Arabia. Features discussion of some bird encounters: the White-eared Bulbul (P leucotis mesiopotamiae) and a new species of Wren Warbler (Prinia gracilis hufufae), the Desert Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo desertorum), two species of Desert Larks (Ammomanes cinctura pallida and A deserti azizi) and more, as well as descriptions of ruins - those at Abu Zahmul, 'Oqair, meetings with various sheikhs, among them the well known Sheikh Abdullah ibn Jiluwi and the Amir of Jabrin as well as a catalogue of specimens obtained.
8vo. 4 pages. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, containing other accounts as well, seldom found in such good and original condition. A favourable review of Philby's autobiography titled "Arabian Days" which was published earlier in the year and was so immediately popular that it was into a second printing, Cheesman deems the work to be a "fair self-portrait" which provides "a complete knowledge of the man." The summary of Philby's childhood, early civil service, and fortuitous connections, so clearly led him "into the desert" to fulfill his personal, spiritual and professional destinies.

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.
