1953172560London: Associated Press 1953. Ibn Sa'ud's anticommunist alliance Rare prints of Associated Press photographs documenting the changing face of Saudi foreign policy in 1953 during the final months of Ibn Sa'ud's reign and a few short years before the Suez crisis. The first image captures a meeting between Prince - later King - Faisal and President Eisenhower in Washington while the second shows Ibn Sa'ud meeting Emperor Haile Selassie d. 1975 of Ethiopia. After Eisenhower assumed office in 1953 he and his Secretary of State John Foster Dulles also seen here were keen to continue the flourishing relationship between their country and Saudi Arabia which had been cemented during the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. On 2 March of that year Prince Faisal at this point Saudi minister for foreign affairs was accompanied to the White House by the chief of his cabinet Ibrahim Suleiman and his country's ambassador extraordinary to the United States Asad al-Faqih who had signed the UN constitution on Saudi's behalf when it was drafted in 1945. Ibn Sa'ud's brief trip to Ethiopia was made in July 1953. Haile Selassie met him in a special marquee which had been erected at Addis Ababa airport and the two monarchs sat on lavish thrones. The state visit aimed to strengthen Saudi-Ethiopian relations as both nations faced the common adversary of Nasserism. The visit laid the ground for improved bilateral relations throughout the 1950s: King Sa'ud visited Addis in 1957 and Haile Selassie travelled to Riyadh in 1960.

1956185255Philadelphia: Aero Service Corp. 1956. Exceptional photo map An impressive aerial view of Jeddah and its environs which shows Jeddah's urban development less than ten years from the demolition of the old walls in 1947 and the start of the oil boom in 1950. It illustrates the expansion of residential areas northward and eastward of the airport runways and the dock area as well as what appears to be oil well infrastructure. It was produced for the surveying work of Glen F. Brown a US specialist in surface geology and natural resources. Hired by Ibn Saud in 1945 Brown carried out geological investigations in Saudi Arabia until well into the 1950s to identify sites with water oil and minerals. The ground-breaking cartographic and photographic surveys prepared by Brown were the basis for the most detailed maps of Saudi Arabia ever produced up to that time. Established in Philadelphia in 1919 Aero Services Corporation - "the oldest flying corporation in the world" Storms p. 1279 - specialized in large-scale aerial photography photogrammetry and photographic surveying through the creation of photo-mosaics. "High-altitude photography on a scale of 1:60000 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was initiated during 1949 by the Aero Service Corp. and completed in 1959. Both third-order vertical and horizontal control and Shoran were utilized in compiling the photography. This controlled photography resulted in highly accurate geographic maps at the publication scale which then served as a base for the geologic overlay. The topography of the sedimentary areas was depicted by hachuring and that of the shield region by shaded relief utilizing the airbrush technique" Powers p. iii. In this view airbrushing covers the lands east of Jeddah towards Mecca where the Arabian-Nubian Shield stretches out. Half-tone photograph 402 x 499 mm. Right-hand half airbrushed.

1958151710Geneva: Printed in Switzerland 1958. Scarce document relating to the 1958 Saudi-Aramco arbitration talks First edition preceding the English and Arabic translations presentation copy from Professor Georges Sauser-Hall with his compliments slip laid in. Production may have been restricted to principal participants for review before preparation of the official versions. We have traced only six institutional copies. The document records the Geneva tribunal established under the Aramco Concession Agreement to resolve a major dispute between the Saudi government and Aramco early in the reign of King Saud. Significant both for Saudi-Aramco relations and as an early modern test of sovereignty and concessionary rights the case arose from the concession granting Aramco 60 years exclusive rights to explore extract transport and export petroleum together with an arbitration clause. Amid surging post-war demand Aramco concluded offtake agreements for future exports which Saudi Arabia challenged in 1954 by granting Aristotle Onassis priority tanker-transport rights through the Saudi Arabian Maritime Tankers Company a Saudi-flag fleet with tax exemptions royalties and preferential access to Aramco exports. Aramco refused compliance as impractical and contrary to the concession and arbitration commenced on 23 February 1955. Saudi Arabia first appointed Dr Helmy Badawi succeeded after his death by Judge Mahmoud Hassan; Aramco appointed Dr Saba Habachi. The arbitrators selected the Swiss jurist Georges Sauser-Hall as referee and Pierre Lalive as secretary general after which both parties assembled leading international counsel. Empowered to state the law but not reconcile the competing agreements the tribunal considered separate submissions addressing maritime transport rights assignment of concessionary privileges preferential treatment for Saudi-flag shipping and the compatibility of the Onassis agreement with the concession. Proceedings comprised three rounds of written exchange and forty-two sittings over eight weeks in Geneva during summer 1956 drawing on Hanbali and international law. On 23 August 1958 the tribunal ruled overwhelmingly for Aramco holding that Satco's priority rights contravened the concession that Aramco had not assigned its rights and that Saudi Arabia could neither compel use of Satco tankers nor disregard Aramco's export and offtake arrangements; the Onassis agreement was therefore ineffective against Aramco. Despite dissent the Saudi government complied with the award abandoned enforcement of the Onassis arrangement and avoided international arbitration for decades. This document presents the proceedings in full. Quarto. Original pale grey printed wrappers. Spine lightly toned and palely stained a few other minor marks. An excellent copy.

1950171429Saudi Arabia: c.1950. A record of Aramco's formative era A collection of ground and aerial shapshots apparently taken by a Saudi Aramco manager stationed at the Mahasin camp just outside al-Hofuf showing the site's early years several scenes of local life and the drilling rig. Collectively the images provide a window onto the early years of Saudi Arabia's development. Seven images depict the camp itself including one picture taken from atop the radio tower overlooking the barracks mess halls powerhouse water trucks and wells. The structures are all surrounded by black lines which the annotations to the verso of the image inform us are "oil to keep the scorpions and snakes out - we hope". Other snapshots show the view up to the top of the radio mast the view down to ground and a panorama across to the nearest town presumably al-Mubarraz. One picture shows the drilling rig with cars in front and a crane to the right. The remaining six images were taken at leisure and show a rocky outcrop several camels locusts on the fender of a jeep local camel drivers and a view from a water tank in an oasis. Accompanying the photographs is a handwritten note from two Aramco employees to a "Mr Canady" perhaps the photographer. The employees complain of a colleague who is proposing to charge the company rent for the use of a dysfunctional bulldozer leased by the Bin Laden company. Muhammad Bin Laden was Saudi Arabia's most successful construction magnate of the mid-20th century and was famously the world's largest importer of Caterpillar bulldozers. 13 gelatin silver photographs c.120 x 92 mm 1 slightly trimmed and numbered on the print in ink manuscript captions relating to numbering on verso. Housed in developer's buff paper sleeve. Numbered image creased and slightly trimmed several others with slight striations: a very good collection. unknown
