First edition; small 8vo 18 x 13 cms; publisher's original green printed cloth wrappers black lettering to upper cover a few marks to upper cover else a very good copy internally clean; 43 pp.<br /> This scarce intelligence pamphlet includes significant chapters on the neighbours of Iraq namely 'The Bakhtiari' the 'Pusht-i-Kuh' Pot-e Kuh and 'Central Arabia and the Shamiyah'. Scattered throughout are extensive references to the history of Arabia and Saudi Arabia with the 'Central Arabia' chapter including an account of Ibn Saud and Wahhabism as well as mentions of relations with Bahrain Oman and Kuwait. It was only five years later that the borders of Saudi Arabia with Iraq and Kuwait would be agreed under the Uqair Protocol.<br /><br />Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson 1884-1940 was a critical figure in the British administration of Iraq and its relations with its neighbours. He was deputy chief political officer under Sir Percy Cox and then acting commissioner when Cox transferred to Persia in 1918. The pamphlet describes itself as being 'prepared to meet the request of certain Officers of Indian Expeditionary force "D" for some account of the political status of Mesopotamia and neighbouring countries' and was likely commissioned as part of the broader reaction to the British disaster at Kut in requiring up-to-date intelligence on the region.<br /><br />Scarce with only 6 copies known in institutions.<br /> Calcutta, Superintendent Government Printing, 1917. hardcover

1930ABC_485971930. Kept in a brown kraft paper envelope. With 13 gelatin silver prints various sizes. A collection of thirteen press photographs from the 1930s showing Saudi Arabian leaders during diplomatic visits to Europe. The beautifully sharp and clear photographs give a good impressions of what these events must have been like at the time. Most of the photographs come with the text that would have accompanied them when they were published in a newspaper and are stamped on the back by the press agency that had the rights for publication. We have not been able to find any of these photographs in online archives.Four of the images show Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud 1906-1975 during a diplomatic visit to Great Britain. Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Faisal was very intelligent and was given numerous important duties as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13 and achieved his first military successes when he was 16. He succeeded his half brother as king of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler. The present photographs however show his visit to Great Britain in 1939. In particular his visit to the Royal Air Force stations in Middlesex and Northolt where he viewed the Hawker Hurricane planes which he considered to buy for the Royal Saudi Air Force. After his return however he decided against it.The other photographs show Fuad Bey Hamza 1899-1951 the Saudi ambassador in France and Fakry Pacha dates unknown the Egyptian ambassador in France during an Eid al-Fitr celebration in Paris in 1939 a portrait of Sheikh Sir Abdullah al-Salim al-Sabah 1895-1965 the 11th ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait and the Kaaba in Mecca during hajj.Some of the photographs are slightly discoloured or creased around the corners.

1954ABC_48728Saudi Arabia or Kuwait 1954. Ca. 28.8 x 22.8 cm sheet size: ca. 35.3 x 27.8 cm. Kept in clear plastic folder. Twelve photographic prints all signed and dated. 12 photographs. Remarkable collection of twelve photographs showing daily life of a community in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait in a time before oil wealth. The photographed people are likely all members of the same family. The moving images show the children engaged in wool spinning playing music on homemade instruments or posing in front of a wooden shed with their mother. The men are shown playing music and engaged in falconry. The beautifully captured portraits truly offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of these people. All photographs are signed and dated by hand. They must have been made by a skilled photographer but the signature is unfortunately unclear. The corners of some of the photographs are very slightly creased otherwise in excellent condition. ABE CAT Anthropology & Ethnography ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown
