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

Four striking illustrated colour plates by noted French painter draughtsman and printmaker Georges Braques especially reproduced for this book. No detectable flaws: extremities and contents without blemish with firm sound binding; fine and housed in original price-clipped dustjacket now housed in protective mylar cover. Lacking the original slipcase. Near fine. Translation of: L'ordre des oiseaux. Text in English and French. <br/><br/>"When Georges Braque was preparing a series of etchings of birds to be published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday it was learned that St.-John Perse had just completed a poem on the theme of birds. The poet agreed to permit the first publication in the limited edition L'Ordre des Oiseaux with twelve original etchings by Braque. The four reproduced in this book were inspired directly by the poem. Among his last works these etchings mark a change from the static forms in Braque's earlier plates to a more dynamic conception. Perse on his part added to his text several pages of aesthetic meditation referring mainly to the metamorphic vision of the painter and to Braque's birds in general. Braque who with Picasso created cubism and carried it to noble poetic heights embodied in the four plates he created for Perse a generalized sense of power flight grace and space. The poet moves in his text from a particular observation of the flight of birds to reflections on the significance of their movement through space and its impact on man's consciousness. He uses the birds of Braque by relating the process of changing form in flight to the changing form of an etching as the artist carries it through its several states. Robert Fitzgerald poet and Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University translated St.-John Perse's Chronique and three lyric plays by Paul Valery published in Bollingen Series."

Saint-John Perse was the pseudonym of Alexis Leger 1887–1975 a French poet writer and diplomat who stands as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century. Perse was dismissed from his post by the Vichy government in 1940 stripped of his French nationality and forced into exile in the United States. After producing some early work he then focussed on his diplomatic career. This was his first work on his return to poetry. Perse's work was admired by literary contemporaries such as Paul Claudel André Gide and André Breton who viewed him as a "surrealist at a distance." Particularly interesting for the English reader is the relationship Perse had with T.S. Eliot. .

Saint-John Perse était le pseudonyme d'Alexis Leger 1887-1975 poète écrivain et diplomate français qui est l'une des figures littéraires les plus importantes du XXe siècle. Perse a été démis de ses fonctions par le gouvernement de Vichy en 1940 déchu de sa nationalité française et contraint à l'exil aux États-Unis. Après avoir produit quelques œuvres de jeunesse il s'est concentré sur sa carrière diplomatique. C'est la première fois qu'il revient à la poésie. L'œuvre de Perse était admirée par des contemporains littéraires tels que Paul Claudel André Gide et André Breton qui le considéraient comme un "surréaliste à distance".
