1922184807London: W. M. Clowes and Sons for the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use 1922-37. Arabic place names for the use of soldiers and military surveyors A collection of 8 pamphlets all but one in their first editions with lists of geographical names of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant - including Saudi Arabia Kuwait Qatar the United Arab Emirates Oman Yemen Trans-Jordan Syria "the French Mandatory Territory" and Iraq - as well as Iran. They were produced by the Royal Geographical Society for soldiers and surveyors working with maps. The Permanent Committee on Geographical Names P. C. G. N. was a body of scholars and linguists who regularly met to discuss policies and practical issues such as the correct spellings of foreign geographical names for use in official documents and publications. In 1921 the Committee updated the RGS System of rules for spelling native names - first adopted by the War Office and later used by the Admiralty in 1885 and throughout the First World War - which led to the creation of this series of lists. Major General Edward Gleichen 1863-1937 formerly Director of the Political Intelligence Bureau was its first Chair 1920-37. The differences in vowel pronunciation among the Arabic colloquials and between colloquial and classical Arabic had generated a variety of alternative spellings for place names in the Arabic-speaking world. The introductions explain preferences for vowel renditions acknowledging the use of alternative official spellings specific to the French mandatory territory in Syria. Some place names include the Hebrew or Greek counterpart others illustrate the confusion that might arise from a lack of transliteration conventions such as "Kethrabba" instead of "Kefrabbeh" as well as incorrect spellings in general use reaching the number of seven for Dujail near Baghdad. The lists also include approximate distances from major cities. For Iran the introduction states that "Persian orthography is by no means fixed and consistent and especially is there uncertainty about the identity and length of many vowels". The lists - which span a large territory including Azerbaijan Isfahan Bushire Tehran and Khurasan - specify that "the boundaries of the provinces of Iran are for the most part indefinite". Together 8 pamphlets octavo. Text in Arabic and English. List of publications to last verso. Stitched as issued. Contents minimally toned else fresh and clean faint traces of central vertical fold: a fine collection. unknown
1928ABC_50475Iran 1928. Oblong album 24.5 x 29.6 cm. Mid-19th-century bright blue faux-leather the front board features a pictorial on-lay within a rectangular frame the illustration depicts a young woman in traditional costume holding a large ceramic vessel.

Collection of 19 engineering photographs taken in Iran dating from ca. 1928 to 1930 CE. The majority of the images are annotated with the year 1308 AH 1929-1930 CE while only photograph 7 is dated 1307 AH 1928-1929 CE.The album documents large-scale engineering works and urban modernisation in Iran during the early years of the Pahlavi dynasty 1925-1941 under Reza Shah Pahlavi 1878-1944. In this period cities such as Tabriz underwent significant restructuring and infrastructural development as part of broader state-led reforms.The photographs depict surveying activities including measuring instruments mounted on tripods uniformed officials and extensive reconstruction works. Several photographs are identifiable as views of Tabriz including the development of the Gaji Gate Darb-e Gajil in December 1929 Ahrap Ahrab Street and Munjam Street under construction. Other views show street levelling and widening works illustrating the transformation of older urban quarters into broader modern thoroughfares.Further noteworthy subjects include railway works and one photograph taken in Jafarabad shows several men wearing a combination of traditional clothing including papakha-style headgear and Western clothing reflecting the broader cultural transition of the period. The present work therefore stands as an informative visual record of early 20th-century Iranian engineering urban renewal and state modernisation.With some glue staining to the dark blue paper on several pages. A few photographs show minor marginal wear not affecting the images themselves. The final photograph is not mounted on the album paper but on a separate piece of card and is loosely inserted. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.
