A detailed early map of central Arabia Second edition of this pilot's map of Riyadh and the surrounding region reissued by Britain's general staff for the use of the Royal Air Force at the end of the Second World War and annotated by a member of 53 Squadron.

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.

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.
