20 pages, including two in-text sketch maps. Plus many 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 fascinating account on the political state of India's 'Mashud country', a region to the west of Dera Ismail Khan on the North-West Frontier of India, at a time when there was bitter hostility and serious fighting between the Wazirs and Mahsuds over their boundaries, particularily in the vincinity of Razmak. Captain Hay was in charge of the South Waziristan Agency for 3-4 years, and describes the intricacies of relationships between the feuding tribes, as well as their custom and history. Hay visited many places not previously seen by Europeans and on this journey he and several hundred natives, climbed the region's highest peak in the Preghal range. Includes remarks on Hindu legend surrounding the mountain, miracles and superstition reported by tribesmen, a list of plants identified, and Pashtu geographical vocabulary. South Waziristan is a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, comprising the area west and southwest of Peshawar between the Tochi River to the north and the Gomal river to the south. The region was an independent tribal territory from 1893, remaining outside of British-ruled empire and Afghanistan. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British, requiring frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of Pakistan in 1947.

Plus many photographic plates and a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 16 x 12 inches (41 x 30cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Three complete issues, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is one of the most comprehensive and valuable report on the Libyan Desert, in which the author attempts to elucidate some of the important questions and problems concerning depressions, oases, and water supplies, accompanied by many incredible photographic plates and a spectacular large fold-out colour map of the Libyan Desert showing surface-relief, contours of static underground water-levels, distribution of sand-dunes, as well as routes of principal exploratory expeditions in the west and south including those of Rohlfs in 1874&1879, Hodgson in 1901, Comyn in 1906, Harding King in 1911, Ball & Moore in 1917, Mrs. Forbes & Ahmed Hassanein in 1920, Ahmed Hassanein in 1923, Bruneau de Laborie in 1923, and Prince Kemal el Din in 1925&1926. The fascinating subjects discussed in this extensive report include: whether the Nile, or a branch of it, ever flow through the Libyan Desert to the west of the present Nile Valley; origin of the depressions; the possibility of utilization of depressions in the Libyan Desert for irrigation, drainage, or hydraulic power; the origin of the artesian water supplies of the Egyptian oases of Baharia, Kharga, Dakhla, and Farafra; permanence of lakes and salt-marshes occupying the depressions of Areg, Bahrein, Sittra, and Qattara; whether the present water-supplies of the Mediterranean littoral can be supplemented by artesian borings; the possibility of the artesian water supplies of the oases diminishing; mysterious "Zerzura, or Oasis of the Blacks"; the possibility of traveling in Great Tracts of the waterless Libyan Desert by the sinking of new wells; the "Tortoise Marshes" of Ptolemy; the sand-dunes; and the distribution of stone implements. Also with references to the Pottery Hill, found by Dr. Ball in 1917, and Prince Kemal el Din's expeditions in 1923 and 1925

Rare issue of Al-Musawar, an Egyptian magazine, featuring content of assorted local interest from 90 years ago, including the latest news in aviation - Misr Airwork having only just been founded 17 days earlier, athletes in the 1st Maccabiah Games, entertainment, politics, military, education, artisanry and more. Text is in Arabic. Folio. 23 pages, opening from the left side, replete with photographic illustration throughout, plus fully illustrated front cover. Volume measures approximately 28,5 x 42 cm. Some wear to edges and spine, folded at center, otherwise in very good, original condition. The front cover is dominated by a dashing young aviator donning his leather flight helmet and goggles, surely a notable Egyptian pilot chosen by the newly formed Misr Airlines. Misr Airlines, a division of Misr Airwork (1932-1949), now known as Egypt Air, was founded on 7 June 1932 "to promote the spirit of aviation among Egyptian youth", thus becoming the seventh carrier in the world. The headquarters of Misr Airwork, S.A.E. was in Almaza Aerodrome, Heliopolis, Cairo. The initial investment was EG£20,000, with ownership split between the Misr Bank (85%), Airwork (10%), and Egyptian private investors (5%). Operations started in July 1933, initially linking Cairo with Alexandria and Mersa Matruh using de Havilland DH.84 Dragon equipment. Misr Airlines is the oldest airline servicing both Africa and the Arab world. Although several other airlines sprang up in Africa during the 1930s, no other airlines were developed in the Arab world until the mid-1940s. An article of aviation interest found within, remembers the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin flying overhead on its 1931 Middle East Flight, with aerial images its own large shadow and the scene below. A memorial to Étienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904), French scientist, physiologist and chronophotographer, whose scientific works touched many fields, including physical instrumentation and aviation, also appears at the center of the issue. There are two full pages concerning athletes, being the elite who had participated in the 1932 Maccabiah Games. There were 390 athletes from 27 countries who participated in the first Maccabiah, including over 69 Jewish athletes from Arab countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. There were several Muslim boxers from Egypt. Al-Musawar is an Egyptian weekly magazine with its headquarters is in Cairo. Launched in 1925, its founder was George Bey Zidan. One of its longest-serving editors was journalist Fekry Abaza who held the post from 1926 to 1961. In 1960 the Egyptian government took ownership and control of the publication. Abaza was suddenly fired due to an article published on 17 August 1961.
