1970ABC_46826Iraq: Central Statistical Organization 1970. Original printed publisher's wrappers. Folio 28.5 x 21 cm. With multiple graphs on 8 leaves most of them in the text. The main price-information is arranged in tables all tables and other introductory information are printed on 1 side of the leaves from right to left on the recto side of the leaves excluding the information in English which has from that perspective been printed on the verso side of the leaves. A statistical overview of the changes in wholesale and retail prices of among other things agricultural animal electronic and textile products in Iraq during the second half of 1970. The elaborate information gathered and presented in the present work by the index numbers & prices department of the central statistical organization of the ministry of planning of the Republic of Iraq has mostly been arranged in tables supplemented with some graphs. The information is organised by general geographical districts in the north middle and south of the country and assessing the prices of products on markets in Baghdad the capital of Iraq separately as its own densely populated district. The present work was published as a supplement to the original bulletin on prices for the first half of 1970 in an effort to bridge the gap in data supply as the Index numbers & Prices department tried to change the publishing frequency from once or twice a year to quarterly and eventually to monthly statements on the changing prices. The information is presented both in Arabic and in English for the purpose of providing a wider range of people and organisations with the information. The Arabic information of course reads from right to left and the tables with the information in both languages are oriented in the same way and the English list of contents and introductory information can be found at the back of the work to be read from left to right. Iraq experienced considerable economic development during the second half of the 20th century. By 1980 its complex central state-planned economy had become the second largest economy in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia. To achieve such development people had to keep a close eye on changing wholesale and retail prices in order to keep changes in inflation and purchasing power in check.Wrapper worn and stained with a blue stamp on the wrapper with the title in Arabic front or back wrapper some staining to the first 4-5 leaves at both English and Arabic ends of the work otherwise internally good and clean.

1951182329London: Ordnance Survey 1951. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1941-42 and with isogonals correct to 1953. They show the international borders between Iran and Iraq but warn that they are still under negotiation. These maps are in a variety of later editions all printed in 1951 Baghdad fifth; Basra eighth; Tehran third; Bushehr fourth. This was a critical year in Iranian politics as the country underwent the Abadan Crisis saw the assassination of Razmara and the election of Mosaddeq. In the same period Iraq saw a number of anti-government protests including the 1952 Iraqi Intifada against the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty. Over these years British and American forces kept close watch on the region's development and likely printed these maps printed on rayon as escape items to issue to forces in case fighting broke out. Escape maps were first introduced by MI9 during the Second World War designed to be easily smuggled into POW camps. They were printed on silk and for "good reasons: silk is flexible and durable in a way that paper is not and it is noiseless when hidden about one's person" Bond. They continued to be issued throughout the 20th century and into the modern day especially during the 1960s and the Vietnam War. 2 sheets of rayon 596 x 715 mm; 610 x 676 mm colour map on each side key on map of Tehran; text in English and French. Sometime folded edges fraying more so to sheet of Baghdad and Basra: a very good copy. Barbara A. Bond "Escape and evasion maps of World War II" The British Library 2016. unknown

199083129Kurdistan: New Organization 1990's. Original silkscreened poster 63.5cm x 46cm printed in red and white on heavy black paper. Slight wear to edges almost neglible and some minor surface cracking to the very heavily applied paint are the only things that could be considered defects. A very good example. <br /> <br /> An exceptionally striking image printed in dramatic red and white onto black card depicting a heavily armed figure in traditional Kurdish dress beneath the legend in Kurdish:<br /> "The Displaced Mullah; The Shining Face of Revolutionary Kurdistan"<br /> <br /> The figure depicted is in all likelihood a stylized portrait of Mahmoud Barzanji a national Kurdish hero from the unrest of the early 20th century who became the first King of Kurdistan and was appointed Governor of the region by the British after the formation of the Kurdistan Protectorate after WW1. Barzanji not universally popular in Southern Kurdistan was a leader of considerable energy and ambition which far outstripped British plans for his 'control' of the region. The British and Barzanji came into direct conflict when he began arresting and imprisoning British officials who put up any opposition to his plans and embarking upon a localised uprising. The British predictably enough put a stop to his ambitions by ambushing him on the Sulamaniah road wounding him and then graciously commuting his death sentence to one of imprisonment in the British stronghold of Lahore in India where Barzanji was kept prisoner until 1922.<br /> The other possibility and with a stronger resemblance is that the poster depicts Simko Shakik early 20th century warlord and revolutionary who aside from massacring Armenians and Assyrians for the greater good of Kurdistan also led a rebellion against Iran. Although not conspicuously working from a Kurdish nationalist perspective modern critical thought suggests that Shikak should be placed "within the confines of Kurdish ethno-nationalism" Kamal Soleimani; "The Kurdish image in statist historiography: the case of Simko" 2017. Shikak himself was mainly interested in plunder and what he no doubt considered 'punitive justice against' basically anyone who sought to extert power over him or as a secondary consideration other Kurds; the results of his aggressive energy and willingness to fight anybody however are historically considered evidence of his benefit to Kurdish freedoms. No other examples of this poster can currently be traced in trade or institutional database. New Organization unknown

1942ABC_47444Baghdad: PAI force G. H. Q. Welfare Committee 1942. Original publisher's beige printed paper wrappers. 14.5 x 11 cm. With two full-page maps of Iraq and Baghdad on page 24 and 25 and a full-page map of the "Baghdad Amenities area" on the back wrapper. Further with 6 pages of advertisements serving as endleaves. A very rare guide intended for British armed forces stationed in Iraq during the Second World War. It was probably handed to the soldiers soon after arrival. Works like these were often discarded when they were no longer needed. As such there are usually few of them left. This particular military guide is likewise extremely rare. We have only been able to find 3 other copies 2 of which are located at the Imperial War Museum in London.The Services guide to Iraq was probably published by the welfare committee of the British PAI force which is short for "Persia and Iraq Force". The British were stationed here to prevent Nazi Germany from invading the region for oil among other reasons. The guide was meant to teach the soldiers the basics of finding their way in this new country. It explains where to go for sports music religion legal aid education the costs of sending letters home and how to recognize and prevent various tropical diseases. It also aims to instill some cultural awareness in the reader: included is an excerpt of a work about the history of Iraq by Seton Lloyd 1902-1996 archaeologist and then curator at the Baghdad museum.The paper wrappers are torn at the bottom of the spine with some loss of material barely affecting the integrity of the binding a small stain and two small pen marks in red and green on the front wrapper. Somewhat browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Not in WorldCat. PAI force G. H. Q. Welfare Committee, unknown

1961ABC_47301Baghdad: Wizarat al-Kharijiyah = Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1961. Original printed wrappers stapled. 8vo. Arabic text. First edition of the second of two rare pamphlets published by the Iraqi government opposing the independence of Kuwait. The first pamphlet published in English and Arabic outlined Kuwait's historical connection to Iraq and analysed its "imperialist relations" with Britain. This second one in Arabic throughout prints the minutes of the Political Affairs Committee of the Arab League which met in Cairo on 20 July 1961 to consider Kuwait's request to join the League.Kuwait emerged as an independent state in June 1961 after sixty-two years as a British protectorate. With a new constitution it held its first parliamentary elections in 1963 thereby becoming the first Arab state in the Gulf to establish a parliament. Such political developments married with growing wealth and modernisations in health culture and finance helped to make Kuwait the most prosperous state in the Arabian Peninsula.The Iraqi government argued that the move toward independence was a continuation of Kuwait's relationship with Britain albeit under a new guise. Furthermore they felt that the historical links between Iraq and Kuwait entitled the former to control over the latter and one suspects a share of its growing wealth. This position partly detailed in the pamphlet led to a point of crisis with Iraq threatening invasion. To the relief of Kuwait the Iraqis were eventually deterred by the Arab League's promise of military opposition.The wrappers are a little dusty two thick black lines on the front wrapper seemingly erasing a stamp another stamp partially visible on the back wrapper most likely a bookseller's name and address "Baghdad" is legible.
