This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Dr. Alfons Gabriel (1894 – 1976) was a Viennese doctor of medicine as well as an acclaimed geographer and travel writer who, accompanied by his wife Agnes, explored the deserts of Iran, in three expeditions in the years 1927 to 1928, 1933 and 1937. He also spent a great deal of time in the Dutch East Indies. Among his highly acclaimed books include "Durch Persiens Wüsten" [Through Deserts of Persia], published in 1935, which was translated to Persian. Dr. Gabriel's first expedition in the years 1927-28 was commenced from the Persian Gulf, travelling into the mountainous country of Bashagird in southern Iran, where he entered Anguran, and via the Jaz Murian swamp penetrated into the Lut, crossed the desert by new paths, and investigated the great northern Iranian salt-swamps. Four years later in 1933 he undertook his second journey, spending several months in the salt-swamps of northern Iran, exploring the sand desert of the Rig-i-Jinn, the Desert of Ghosts, then crossed the middle part of the Lut, and continued to the south into the Sarhad of Iranian Baluchistan. Accompanied by a colour route map and many spectacular photographic images, this important first-hand report delineates Dr. Gabriel's third and last journey in 1937, during which he explored the unknown territory of southern Lut, the great desert of Iran and Iranian Baluchistan, which resulted in filling several blanks on map. He provides vivid description of his journey and includes fascinating remarks on sandstorms, the inhabitants of Hudiyan, date plantations, remains of old stone buildings belonging to Kafar race, remains of old settlements at Surk, fortress of Hajji Agha Khan at Khash, and much more.

24 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 14 x 13 inches (36 x 33cm) 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 outstanding early narrative on Arabia accompanied by a profusion of plates and a large fold out colour map. This report pre-dates Thomas' all-important books, including; ARABIA FELIX: Across The Empty Quarter of Arabia,first published in 1932 & THE ARABS, first published in 1937. The last of the great single-handed explorations of Arabia, begun more than a century earlier. And despite the relatively modern date, not an unworthy successor to Burckhardt and Richard Burton. Bertram Thomas represented the end of an epoch - the insightful traveler who made his exploration on foot, using his own resources. The author enjoys the distinction of being the only white man to have served as Prime Minister of an independent Arab state and the first white man to have crossed the great South Arabian Desert. On reporting on his famous book, The Arabs, T.E. Lawrence writes; "Thomas was Political Officer in Mesopotamia, Assistant British Representative in Transjordania, and the only white man ever to cross the great South Arabian Desert, a feat which T.E. Lawrence described as being finest thing in Arabian exploration. The author begins in the morn of history, when Arabia formed a barbarian wedge between Egypt and Sumer. He tells of the life and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed. He traces the wars of expansion, and the gradual disintegration of a great empire under the impact of Crusaders from Europe and Mongols from Asia. And not only does he give the story of their battles and victories, but of their social life, of the arts and sciences which came to flower under their stimulation, and which made the Arab civilization pre-eminent in its day. He takes us from the earliest stirrings of racial consciousness of a people down to the days of the Great War..." References T.E. Lawrence.
