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 A trove of unpublished photographs depicting two official visits to Pakistan by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.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.

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. She and Edie told me to be plenty mean so they won’t be always getting that club for their servants.â€<br /> <br /> And in one of the most unfriendly captions she describes their washerman:<br /> <br /> “Our Dhobi Boksh. He used to come every day; now he comes every other day. Dumbest looking character you ever saw but he’s surprisingly faithful.â€<br /> <br /> Others are described as “always underfoot†“doing nothing†and “Stealing yet!â€.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of US activities in Pakistan in the 1960s and relationships between Americans and Pakistanis on the ground. unknown
