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'.
With vivid descriptions and stunning photographic plates depicting ancient ruins, nomadic Bedouins, famine and relief work,the authors provide first-hand insight into social conditions in the Hadhramaut, including the Wahidi country, Hadhrami communities, Al 'Abr, Shiban and Al Ghuraf, where famine and tribal war prevailed and consumed lives at alraming rates, where relief was imperative and drought was yet another added burden. A fold out colour map illustrates villages and the author's routes in the environs of the "Incense Road".Harold Ingram was the first British Resident Adviser in the Hadhramaut in South Arabia.

28 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 10 x 15 inches (26 x 38cm). 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 most insightful first-hand account of the extraordinarily complex social and governmental organization in the Hadhramaut in its time of transition from early social organization to a slightly more developed government. The author discusses the seven distinct classes of society and the order of their importance, provides a thorough description of his journey through wadis and villages, and remarks on tribal raids, caravans, ruins, tombs, and much more. This is a comprehensive account, pre-dating the author's book, entitled "Arabia and the Isles," first published in 1942. The accompanied colour map shows Ingrams' traverse from Mukalla to Seihut of the Aden Protectorate. Ingrams was described by James Lunt as 'a strong man, with a deep understanding of the Arab psychology,' he became known as Al Muslahi, 'the settler [of disputes]'. Ingrams wore quasi-Arab dress—which he claimed was more comfortable and practical and was considered a compliment by the local people—and insisted his British staff did likewise (ODNB)

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is an exceptional report on the Hadhramaut and the author's residency there, who also describes his stay in the Arabian Nights' palace of the Ba Surra brothers. W.H.Ingrams was the first British Resident in Mukalla, he and his wife being referred to as the rain-makers and peace-makers of the Hadhramaut. Residing in the little known region of the Hadhramaut the author takes occasional excursions into unvisited districts, into this arid and mysterious land. He focuses on a new found peace between the Badawin and tribesmen of this mysterious territory and explains a greater contact between different parts of the country, resulting in extended communications, such as the completion of the Al Kaf road.

17 pages, including black and white plates. Plus a large fold-out Colour Map. 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 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".
