1967L2SFGIMNES3FPakistan 1967. Original black half morocco album green cloth sides with title and emblem of the United Bank Limited Pakistan on the front board. An archive of 183 photographs: 133 loose black and white photographic prints ca. 30 x 25 cm 30 smaller ones ca. 5 x 6 cm numbered and mounted together on a single sheet of paper and 20 additional prints in the album. Further with numerous rolls of original medium format negatives. A trove of unpublished photographs depicting two official visits to Pakistan by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The earlier visit in 1967 is documented by a separate photo album containing images of the visit to Lahore the second largest city of Pakistan from 16 to 28 November 1967. The album opens with a picture of HH Sheikh Zayed arriving in his car; later pictures show him being honoured and presented with an album very similar to the present one and in the company of officials representing Pakistans United Bank Limited UBL. Almost 20 years later in 1986 Sheikh Zayed would donate a hospital to the city now the "Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex" one of the leading medical institutions in Pakistan.The 30 small photographs show an audience with Sheikh Zayed as well as a banquet in his honour attended by various Pakistani dignitaries including Agha Hasan Abedi 1922-1995 the illustrious founder of UBL. These photos apparently clipped from a set of medium format contact prints are mounted on a sheet of coated black photographic paper.The largest set in size and number shows the state visit that took place on 20-22 January 1970 at the invitation of President Yahya Khan 1917-1980. It provides extensive documentation of the large Abu Dhabi delegation being formally received by Yahya Khan who served as president of Pakistan from March 1969 to December 1971. Many show HH Sheikh Zayed shaking hands with and speaking to President Yahya; others show the airport reception formal dinners speeches but also informal conversations members of the delegation handling falcons and numerous high-ranking Abu Dhabi retainers. Among the persons depicted is again Agha Hasan Abedi but there are also several pictures of Butti bin Bishr secretary to Sheikh Zayed and Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Suwaidi the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE and personal representative of Sheikh Zayed. President Yahya Khan had been "one of the very first international leaders to reach out to Sheikh Zayed after the UAE had been founded and had prior to this in July 1970 been instrumental in creating an agreement to provide technical assistance to the then Trucial States. With the December 1971 union agreement approaching Pakistan was quick to forge even closer ties and Khan had been one of the first foreign leaders to offer his congratulations and reiterate his countrys support when the UAE was born. Full diplomatic ties were then quickly established and Pakistan became one of the first to extend recognition to the new country . All his life Sheikh Zayed had held a personal affinity for Pakistan. He had hunted there extensively came to know the people its culture and lands and enjoyed close ties with leaders" Wilson.From the estate of Azhar Abbas Hashmi 1940-2016 Pakistani financial manager and eminent literary patron with close ties to Karachi University. Hashmi served the UBL for many years becoming its vice-president before founding several important cultural organisations and becoming known as a man of letters in his own right. Thanks to his close connections with the Gulf states Abu Dhabi provided funds to build Karachi Universitys faculty of Islamic studies as well as its Sheikh Zayed Islamic Centre and it mosque Jamiya Masjid Ibrahim.The majority of the photographs are entirely unmarked but they occasionally show an Arabic inscription or stamp on the reverse. Some of the loose photographs slightly scuffed along the edges with an occasional nick or small tear but otherwise in fine condition. Binding of the album slightly rubbed.

A collection of photographic silver-gelatin prints of aircraft the squadron aerial reconnaissance etc. made and compiled by Thomas William George Eady flying officer of the no. 28 Squadron of the RAF. It comprises 3 photo albums contemporary with the photos 53 loose photos 20 x 15 cm some with manuscript comments on the back 5 related documents dated 1928-1932 and a separate photographic portrait of Eady in total nearly 2000 prints.

The second album oblong 4to 33.5 x 24 cm in green cloth with brown cord ties contains 72 prints made during the Afridi Redshirt Rebellion in various sizes and mounted on 20 brown paper leaves with neat India ink captions in English by Eady. The small third album oblong small 4to 19 x 27 cm consisting of 4 brown paper leaves tied together with black cord ties contains 33 prints in various sizes mounted on the leaves some duplicating prints in the largest album with larger captions in black ink probably not by Eady. A collection of photographs made and compiled by Thomas William George Eady flying officer in the no. 28 squadron of the British Royal Air Force. The squadron was at that moment based at Risalpur an aerodrome near Peshawar in Northern Pakistan. The collection contains silver-gelatin prints photographic snapshots and aerial reconnaissance photographs he made in 1929-1930 during his stay in the North West Frontier region on the India-Pakistan border. They show the men in their daily activities and the places they visited in their leisure such as a music saloon in Narkunda and Eadys family while staying at "Uncle Joey" in Madras. It further includes many views of the region especially of Attock and Risalpur but also of Bombay Madras The Malakand Pass Bara Valley snow at Drosh etc. and shows glimpses of Indian culture. The collection therefore gives many insights into the life of a British Royal Air Force officer in the Indian North West Frontier.Also interesting are the five related documents in the collection including a letter from the Air Ministry in London addressed to Eady and dated 25 May 1928 informing him about practical matters such as his luggage the amount of money he should take with him and whether he needs a passport.Eadys extensive photographic archive coming from a flying officer for the British Royal Air Force not only provides highly interesting insights into the Afridi Redshirt Rebellion but also a detailed record in images and captions of the courageous pilots of the no. 28 squadron of the British Royal Air Force their aircrafts activities and pastimes on the Indian North West Frontier.Cloth of the blue album worn around the edges head and foot of the spine of the green album slightly damaged some edges of the paper documents a little frayed and some documents slightly foxed and stained but otherwise a highly interesting collection of photographs in good condition. hardcover

1894169511894. 8°, 227 S., Originalleder, Goldschnitt. Das der Verfasser Hauptmann Credner ist, ergibt sich aus dem Text. Major Hermann Credner, geboren am 28.10.1859 in Münster / 1877 Eintritt in den Militärdienst / 1892 Lehrer am Kadettenhaus in Karlsruhe / 1897 Hauptmann und Kompagniechef im Inf-Rgt. 137 / 1900/01 Teilnahme am Feldzug in China / 1907 Kommandeur des III. Seebataillons / 1909 Ausscheiden aus der Marine-Infanterie. Der Bericht teilt sich in sieben Kapitel auf: Von Carlsruhe nach Colombo / Colombo / Calcutta, Darjeeling, Benares, Lucknow / Agra, Gwalior, Dehli, Lahore, Umritsar, Peshawar, Indus-Fahrt, Rawal Pindi / Waziristan, Tochi-Thal / Multan, Quetta, Kurachee, Bombay / Rückfahrt Cairo. Beiliegend ein 5-seitiger Brief von General Konsul Freiherr von Gärtner-Griebenow vom 27.1.(18)95 aus Calcutta. Hermann Credner plante seine Reise mit Reisebüro Cook und war mit einem Empfehlungsschreiben des badischen Ministers von Brauer an den Generalkonsul Gärtner-Griebenow in Calcutta ausgestattet. Von diesem erhielt er weitere Empfehlungen an Mitglieder der englischen Kolonie in Indien. Auf seiner Reise trifft er z.B. Konsul Freudenberg in Colombo / Geheimrat Zirkel / die schwedische Gräfin Wachtmeister / Oberst Thuillier - Chef der indischen Landesaufnahme / Major Davidson - Direktor der Münze in Calcutta / Captain Batten - Deputy Assistant Adjutant / General Morton / General William Lockhart / Oberst Dyce / Kapitän von der Groeben / Familie Denso aus Erfurt / die Töchter von Charles Kingsley / Generalkonsul Freiherr von Heyking / ua. Hauptmann Credner beschreibt anschaulich zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeiten und Bräuche der "Eingeborenen". Unter anderem die Totenverbrennung der Parsis (Parsen - Anhänger des Zoroaster) in Bombay. Neben diesen interessanten Schilderungen ist sicherlich seine Teilnahme an der ersten Expedition in das Tochi-Tal der Höhepunkt seiner Reise. Auf der Rückreise nach Karlsruhe besuchte er die Pyramiden in Ägypten und schildert seine Eindrücke. Nach meinen Recherchen ist der Verfasser am 28.10.1859 in Münster/Westfalen geboren, war seit 1892 Lehrer am Kadettenhaus in Karlsruhe, wurde 1900 zum 4. Ostasiatischen Inf.-Rgt. versetzt und verließ 1909 die Marine-Infanterie. Eine kleine Textpassage: Dem von Italien nach Indien Reisenden, stehen mehrere gute Dampferlinien zur Verfügung. Von Triest aus der Österreichische Lloyd, von Genua und Neapel aus der Norddeutsche Lloyd, der jedoch nur nach Colombo zu benutzen ist, von Neapel und Brindissi aus, die Peninsular- und Oriental-Kompagnie. Für mich kam nur diese letzte englische Linie in Betracht, da ich so schnell als möglich Indien erreichen wollte, mein Urlaub am 1. Dezember 1894 begann und am 2. die 'Khedive' von Neapel nach Calcutta ging, während mit allen anderen Linien ich erst 1 bis 2 Wochen später hätte fahren können. Am 29.11. vormittags verließ ich Karlsruhe; in einigen Stunden in Freiburg Aufenthalt um mich von meinen Angehörigen zu verabschieden, und fuhr dann direkt von Freiburg bis Neapel. Die Zollrevision in Basel vollzieht sich glatt, und im Schlafwagen passiere ich die Gotthardt Berge in tiefem Schlafe; um sechs Uhr morgens weckt mich der Schaffner, wir sind gleich in Chiasso, wo mir von neuem der Paß über alle Unbequemlichkeiten der Zollrevision hinweghilft. 30.11. Eine Stunde später bin ich in Mailand, wo ein kurzer Aufenthalt zur Erfrischung benutzt wird. Die Fahrt nach Genua bietet ein wundervolles Alpenpanorama von Novi an, bis die Bahn selbst in das Gebirge, den Appenin tritt, der in vielen Tunneln und schönen Blicken in das Thal überschritten wird.

A sequence of reports and first hand accounts of local conditions in Mekran Kalat Baluchistan Northwest India now Pakistan and relations with with the Khan of Kalat and his family. An uncommon glimpse of politics of and life in a frontier state of British India. This is a series of eleven internal reports many of them from the pen of Herbert Showers 1862-1916 whose career as a Political Officer took him to Kalat Quetta Jaipur Alwar Katmandu Udaipur. He died relatively young at 54 in 1916. The reports are candid: "As recent events show important events seriously affecting the peace and well-being of the country may be passing and no information of them reach the Political Agent except accidentally from an unofficial source. And as can readily be understood the difficulties are greatly enhanced by our having such a man as Pasand Khan for the Jhallawan Sirdar."

Very Good Urdu Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (18 x 13 cm). In Urdu. 12 p. Lithographed edition. Ali was an Indian Muslim leader of the Khilafat Movement that erupted in response to the fall of the Ottoman Empire. He was the elder brother of the renowned political leader Mohammad Ali Jouhar. Shaukat Ali was born in 1873 in Rampur state in what is today Uttar Pradesh in India but later played role in partition of India on religious lines. He was educated at the Aligarh Muslim University. He was extremely fond of playing cricket, captaining the university team. Shaukat Ali helped his younger brother Mohammad Ali Jouhar publish the Urdu weekly Hamdard and the English weekly Comrade. In 1915 he published an article which said Turks were right to fight the British. These two weekly magazines played a key role in shaping the political policy of Muslim India back then. In 1919, while jailed for publishing what the British charged as seditious materials and organizing protests, he was elected as the last president of the Khilafat conference. He was re-arrested and imprisoned from 1921 to 1923 for his support to Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress during the Non-Cooperation Movement (1919-1922). His fans accorded him and his brother the title of Maulana. In March 1922, he was in Rajkot jail and was later released in 1923. While still a supporter of Congress and its non-violent ethos, Ali even surpassed some of his colleagues in also providing support to the revolutionary independence movement. To this end, he supplied guns to Sachindranath Sanyal. He opposed the 1928 Nehru Report. Instead, he demanded separate electorates for Muslims and finally the Khilafat Committee rejected the Nehru Report. Shaukat Ali attended the first and second Round Table Conferences (India) in London in 1930-31. His brother Jouhar died in 1931, and Shaukat Ali continued on and organized the World Muslim Conference in Jerusalem. In 1936, Ali became a member of the All India Muslim League and became a close political ally of and campaigner for Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the future founder of Pakistan. He served as member of the 'Central Assembly' in British India from 1934 to 1938. He travelled all over the Middle East, building support for India's Muslims and the struggle for independence from the British rule in India. (Source: Wikipedia).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. No bdg. Wear spine, dispersed pages. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 197, 6 p., 5 panoramic folded huge b/w plates (Including the photographic plts.; 1-) Turkish Convention May, 13, 1923, Detroit, Mich by Photo Craft Byallen -23x39 cm-; 2-) [Among the Young Turks in Detroit, -23x106 cm-; 3-) In the White House with the President, -23x106 cm-; 4-) Islamic Society in the US, -32x40 cm-; 5-) Among the Young Turkish people in Chicago, -23x26 cm-). First and only edition of this exceedingly rare travel account of America by Dr. Mehmed Fuad [Umay], (1885-1963), who was a Turkish doctor and the founder of Himâye-i Etfâl [i.e. Society for the Protection of Orphans], a society that was established in 1921 to provide orphanages to children of the deceased soldiers in the Turkish War of Independence; began visiting many of the Turkish colonies in the US, giving lectures and raising a considerable amount of money for the establishment of these orphanages in Turkey. On 21 March 1923, Fuad Bey was granted permission from the Grand National Assembly of Turkey to go to the US in order to raise funds among the Ottoman immigrants for immediate war relief. Thus, for the first time, humanitarian action became an organized effort by fostering diaspora mobilization. Fuad Bey arrived in Ellis Island on 6 April 1923 on a ship named SS Aquitania and headed to the Ottoman Welfare Association at 35 Rivington Street. In the first meeting held by the Ottoman Welfare Association for the benefit of Turkish Orphan Society, Fuad Bey notes that a total of USD 17,500 was raised in just six hours. To those who donated over USD 1,000, a personally autographed picture of Mustafa Kemal was given by Fuad Bey. He visited the Turkish colonies in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He lectured about the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1922) and the success of the struggle, and many Turkish and Kurdish workers residing in these cities donated their life savings to support the construction of orphanages and the reconstruction of the entire country. Fuad's visit to Peabody, Massachusetts aroused exceptional excitement among the Turkish and Kurdish immigrants. It was the first chance for the Muslim Anatolian immigrants to manifest their national pride and attachment to the homeland. At the same time, their socioeconomic achievement was evidenced with the arrival of Fuad Bey in Peabody in an auto decorated with a large American flag and followed by a dozen autos filled with Turks, the machines decorated with American and Turkish flags.". A day before his arrival, the Turks refrained from work and "went around with badges in honor of his coming. Mehmed Fuad noted that there were around 600 Turks when he visited Peabody in 1923. Despite their small number, they had established Kizilay [i.e. Turkish Red Crescent] society. After being shown some of the tanneries in Peabody and Salem, Fuad gave an address to the Turks and Kurds at the Peabody Institute. The scene was described as: "All the Turks in town were present. They made a spectacle of the doctor's visit, many of them taking a day off. They wore badges in his honor and displayed in front of the Institute the American and Turkish flags. Great enthusiasm was shown. Baskets of roses were carried down the aisles and the flowers were bought at any price, bunches of money being put in the baskets. It was said that USD 8,000 was raised among the Turks of this city for Dr. Fuad Bey to take back with him.". Fuad Bey visited Peabody for a second time on 14 August 1925, as he came for the National Conference of Social Workers held in Denver, Colorado in June, 1925. When he arrived in Massachusetts, he was met by a delegation of Turkish people from [.]". (Source: Ottoman Immigrants and the Formation of Turkish Red Crescent Societies in the United States).

Erste französche Ausgabe dieser erstmals 1816 in englischer Sprache erschienenen Reisebeschreibung ('Travels in Beloochistan and Sinde'). - Henry Pottinger (1789-1856) war britischer Offizier, im Dienst der East India Company. In deren Auftrag reiste er gemeinsam mit Capt. Charles Christies im J. 1810 von Indien durch Belutschistan nach Kirman und Schiras, Süd-Persien, "mithin durch ein Ländergebiet - das alte Gedrosien und Carmanien - von dem seit der Zeit Alexander des Grossen kein europäischer Augenzeuge mehr gekündet hatte". (Henze). Sie gaben sich als Agenten eines reichen Pferdehändlers aus. In Bampur verknüpfte P. seine Route mit der seines Landmannes W. P. Grant. "Grant und Pottinger sind die ersten neuzeitlichen Erheller des inneren Belutschistan zwischen dem Indo-persischen Grenzgebirge und Bender Abbas." - In den Zwanziger und Dreißiger Jahren hatte Pottinger diverse Posten der britischen Kolonialverwaltung in Indien inne, u. a. in Sindh, Poona und Hyderabad. Im Zuge des Ersten Opiumkriegs wurde Pottinger 1841 als Generalbevollmächtigter nach China entsandt. Weltgeschichtliche Bedeutung erlangte er durch die Aushandlung und Unterzeichnung des Vertrags von Nanking am 29. September 1842, der den Krieg beenden und Englands Aufstieg zur führenden Imperialmacht in Ostasien einläuten sollte. (Differenzbesteuert).
1965List3236Lahore Pakistan 1965. Ninety-four photographs measuring 5 x 3 ½ inches to 2 x 2 inches. Many with manuscript captions verso and some marked recto. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Photos taken by Denverite Lyman R. Flook Jr. and his family with many captioned by his wife Dorothy documenting their time living in Lahore from 1960 to 1965. Lyman Flook 1921–1993 worked at the engineering firm of Tipton & Kalmach which in 1960 won a contract to design and construct a link canal system in Pakistan. This was likely related to the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty which determined which Indus Basin rivers would supply water to India and which to Pakistan and allowed a ten year transition period in which India would supply some of Pakistan’s water while Pakistan built its canal system. While Lyman Flook worked on the canal Dorothy 1921–2020 taught at the Lahore American School. They and the other American families in Lahore with Tipton & Kalmach left in 1965 after the outbreak of the Indo-Pakistani War.<br /> <br /> The Flooks lived in a large stylish house likely in the upscale WAPDA i.e. Water And Power Development Authority Town neighborhood of Lahore. The shots include many of the other American engineers’ families typically identified by full or at least last name including the Thiel Troxler and Rockwell families. There are Christmas events with Santa and even a child’s birthday party featuring a dancing bear. Most interesting though are those of local people and life in Lahore—some portraits of the locals are quite competently and compellingly shot. Most of the Pakistani subjects depicted are servants of the American families: chowkidars watchmen ayahs nursemaids dhobis washers sweepers and groundskeepers. They are identified by first name in Dorothy Flook’s extensive captions which also illustrate the relationship between the Americans and their hired labor. For instance she writes:<br /> <br /> “Our New Chowkidar. He was sent over by the Rockwells who wanted to save money doing without one. As soon as it was known they had no chowkidar things started disappearing from their garage. The locals are always trying to create jobs for each other.â€<br /> <br /> Of the ayahs she relates:<br /> <br /> “Norma said her ayah asked for overtime pay saying ‘Mrs Flook her boss’s wife was giving it’ — a dead lie.

Very Good Persian Original brown half-leather. Light chipping on top of binding. Otherwise a very good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Persian. [2], 460, [3] p. Scarce first edition of this fifth and the last volume of the dictionary including a detailed "glossary of difficult words used in the text", which is an invaluable resource in the Persian language, of corpus titled "Dâstân-e turktâzân-i Hind, girdâvarde-e khâma-e" [i.e. History of Muslim and Turkish rule in India] written by Mirzâ Nasru'llâh Khân Fidâiî at the end of the 19th century. This volume is the fifth and the last of Nasrullah Khan's five-volume work on the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent up to the British Raj (1858-1947), conventionally said to start in 712, after the conquest of Sindh and Multan by the Umayyad caliphate. From the late 12th century onwards, Muslim empires dominated the subcontinent, most notably the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.
Very Good Urdu Extremely rare first and only edition (not in institutional catalogues and market) of this travel book to America in the mid 20th century by Pakistani journalist and intellectual Sharif Farooq, who was invited to visit the USA on the Leader Specialist Programme in 1958. Sharif Farooq visited America in 1958. In his travelogue, he highlights the lifestyle, educational system, and foreign policy of America in detail. He also introduces the economical situation of the country, economical trends, and the condition of different institutions. Reports of press conferences are also a part of this travelogue. (Source: Travelogues of America in the Urdu Language: Trends and Tradition).

I am confident that this book will be widely read and aimed as one of the good travel books written about America". (From the preface of the book by advocate-general Muhammad Ali). In original boards with lettering in both Latin and Arabic, spine missing. Otherwise a good copy. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). Text is in Urdu with a one-page English preface. 387, [1] p.

"Prima edizione". “Giotto Dainelli (1878-1968), esploratore, geologo, paleontologo e geografo di altissimo livello, dalla personalità vivacissima.. Nel 1913-14 partecipò alla spedizione De Filippi al Karakorum, la più importante missione esplorativa italiana in Asia del nostro secolo. Essa si proponeva un duplice scopo: esplorare il grande ghiacciaio Rimu, nel Karakorum orientale, e raccogliere il maggior numero possibile di informazioni geofisiche, geologiche, metereologiche e, in via subordinata, anche naturalistiche, su quella regione. Entrambi gli scopi furono brillantemente raggiunti. Al D. fu lasciata libertà di movimento: con l'amico Marinelli, che l'aveva raggiunto, poté compiere escursioni al di fuori dell'itinerario principale della spedizione, esplorando un'area assai più ampia e giungendo, sulla via del ritorno, fino al Tien Shan”.
