Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. The confidential first edition dated March 1919, prepared for the British Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference (a second declassified edition made available to the public without the map appeared in 1920, retitled "Tanganyika (German East Africa)" and renumbered No. 113). Origin…al grey printed card wraps 14x22cm. vi, 117pp, complete with the colour folding map in a back pocket. Very good, lightly bumped and creased to the corners, tanned to the spine, blue crayon number to the front. Map spotted, neatly folded with short closed fold tears. Chapters describe physical and human geography, political history (starting with Portuguese influence through to Arab rule, British and German interests, and native opposition), social and political conditions, and economy, with Treaty extracts in the Appendices. No authors are indicated, but it was a collective effort, with the series edited by George Walter Prothero, Director of the Historical Section, which had been established purposely by the Foreign Office. Histories were voluntarily contributed by experts, geography by Naval Intelligence Division staff, and economics by the Foreign Office War Trade Intelligence Department. The map is by the Geographical Section General Staff of the War Office: "General Map of German East Africa", GSGS No. 2814, War Office, July 1916. 80x78cm, 1/2M, bounded by Lake Victoria (N), the Swahili coast from Lamu to Pekavi with Zanzibar about midway (E), the border with Portuguese East Africa (S), and Lake Tanganyika (W). Features include railways, roads (mostly fit for light wheeled traffic), important tracks and routes, marshes, mission stations, and international boundaries. This edition appears to be very rare, with Worldcat and Library Hub locating copies at the British Museum and British Library only (OCLC 558925343).

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Colour map 74x57cm. Very good, neatly folded, with faint pencil note to the lower margin ("Nasar's Corner"). This sheet, dating to the early years of the Egyptian Republic, was based on a USAF World Aeronautical Chart dated March 1953. Coverage is bounded by the Gilf Kebir Plateau (…N), Selima Oasis (uninhabited) (SE), the Libyan / Anglo-Egyptian Sudan border (SW), and Jebels Uweinat and Arkenu (W). Altitude is shown by colour tinting. Geographical features are accompanied by numerous captions describing the terrain such as variations in sand and gravel, barchan dune formations, etc. The "Memorial monument" south of Gilf Kebir would be the Prince Kemal el-Din Monument, which Laszlo Almasy had built in 1934 for his late patron and friend (1874-1932) close to where he had discovered the Cave of Swimmers. Among the several criss-crossing tracks would be the Darb al Arbain (or 40 Days Road), identifiable by its stops at Laqiya Arbain, Selima Oasis (where it splits), and El Shab.

No Binding. Condición: Good. Three colour (black, red and brown) printed paper map 51x67cm. Good, neatly folded, lightly tanned, with closed fold and intersection tears. Geographical Section General Staff (GSGS) No. 3919 compiled and published originally under the direction of the Surveyor General of India 1922, reprinted with c…orrections Calcutta July 1940, revised Calcutta October 1940, heliozincographed at the Survey of India Offices, Calcutta. This was issued in a period of growing anti-British tension that would culminate in the Coup and Anglo-Iraqi War (April-May 1941) that was being stoked up by the Italian Legation in Baghdad, supported by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini, who was living in exile there. This highly strategic area would soon be covered by the British to retake Baghdad.

Details include administrative boundaries, several classes of road (distinguishing metalled and unmetalled, cart tracks, camel tracks or trade routes, mule paths, footpaths, and doubtful or unsurveyed routes) with notes in the image on suitability for Mechanised Transport (MT); railways; landing grounds; water wells and availability of water, oil wells, mines, springs, mosques, forts, watch towers, deserted villages, police posts, individually named plots, telephone lines and offices, the Tigris, wadis etc, with descriptive notes about terrain in the image (including several with dated water depth measurements taken during WW1).

No Binding. Condición: Good. Colour map, 1/3M or 47.35 miles to the inch, 97x62cm. Good, slightly unevenly folded, with some patches of staining, and small holes at intersections. Originally published in 1918, this includes revisions to boundaries and railways with minor corrections dated 1931.

This is shown in some detail, including the Oases of Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Baharia, Siwa, Kufra, and smaller ones, dune fields by stippling. Of great interest are the numerous tracks, among them Darb el Arbain, Darb el Tawil, the Great Caravan Route to Wadai, Caravan Route to Kufra etc, as well as traces of an old route to passing through an uninhabited oasis with little water south of Kufra. G. Owenat (Jebel Uweinat) is marked at the very lower edge. Notes describe the extent of vegetation, incidence of water, and the nature of the desert surface (eg, stone or sand). Spot heights.

No Binding. Condición: Good. 3rd Edition. Colour map 81x61cm, printed by 42 Survey Engineer Regiment (MELF No. 15383-5000/12/57). Good, slightly imperfectly folded, and creased along the edges especially. This covers part of the Sultanate of Lahej in the Aden Protectorate, with its capital in the SE corner. Dated December 1957,…this was the 3rd edition to be issued in the same year (the others in Feb and June). At this time, the British feared that the Arab nationalist Sultan Ali bin Abdal Karim al Abdali would refuse to join the Federation of Emirates of South Arabia (a British brokered arrangement that would last from 1959-62), and would depose him in 1958. Features include international boundaries (demarcated or undefined), regional boundaries, the dispositions of numerous tribes, towns and villages of varying importance, roads, tracks, pases, wells, wadis (perennial or seasonal), shrines, tombs, fors, ruins, airports, airfields, landing grounds, etc. There is also an English-Arabic Glossary, Key to Pronunciation, and technical notes.

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. Anglo-Iraqi War map, published during final preparations to advance on Baghdad. Colour printed on linen-backed paper 64x85cm. Very good, neatly folded. Compiled by the War Office 1937, published by them 1938, printed by 512 (A Forward Survey) Company, Royal Engineers, May 1941, and reprinted wit…h complete footnotes dated Edition of 26 May 1941. Coverage is bounded by Baghdad and its environs (NW), the border with Iran (NE), and Nasiriya (SE), showing the courses of the Tigris and Euphrates. Other major settlements include Kut, Hilla, Najaf, Kufa, and Karbala. Details include international boundaries, railways and stations, camel caravan and motor routes, telegraph and post stations, watch towers, forts, mosques, police posts, ancient sites (Babylon, Ur, Arch of Ctesiphon, canals etc), bridges across barrages, ruined bridges, etc; extensive topographical features with unsurveyed areas marked, and descriptions in the image (eg, bushes 2' to 3' high); and air information including aerodromes, landing grounds, signals etc. Iraq was at this time ruled by Rashid Al-Gaylani, who in April deposed Prince Abd Al-Ilah in an Axis-backed coup, and laid siege to the major British imperial base at RAF Habbaniya west of Baghdad. With Churchill endorsing "all necessary force" the British hastily assembled a major expeditionary force from the Indian Army, Arab Legion, Assyrian Levies, and Iraqi loyalists, with leadership transferred to General Archibald Wavell (C-in-C Middle East Command) and Lieutenant-General Edward Quinan (commanding Iraqforce). It protected AIOC installations, secured Habbaniya on 18 May, then Fallujah on 23 May as a preliminary to the march on Baghdad. On 23 May Wavell flew to Basra to review reinforcements and instruct Quinan to prepare the advance on Baghdad. This map was produced the day before the advance from Basra began. On 27 May the 20th and 21st Indian Infantry (named the "Euphrates" and "Tigris Brigades") set off up each river by boat and road under Operations Regulta and Regatta, the latter via Kut. Progress was hampered by floods and destroyed bridges. Meanwhile a small RAF-backed ground force led by Major General Clark advanced from Habbaniya, prompting Al-Gaylani to flee to Persia with the Grand Mufti on 29 May. Abd Al-Ilah was reinstated on 1 June. This looks to be very rare, with Worldcat recording 1 location for the 1st edition 1938 (OCLC 756234518: Dresden University).

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. One map complete in 2 sheets. Very good, neatly folded with dusting to the versos and small closed fold and intersection tears. Each sheet measures 104x77cm, printed in 3 colours with brown for contours, blue for water, black for transport links, with titles and labels in English and Arabic. Sur…veyed at the War Office 1931 from air photos by No14(B) Squadron RAF Ground Control under the direction of Major R.L. Brown, Royal Engineers. Drawn at the War Office 1932 and printed 1933 (1400/40). Heliographed at the OS 1933. Focusing on the Jordan River and its major tributaries, it may have been drawn to show the economic and strategic importance of Trans-Jordan's water resources to Mandatory Palestine's plans for agricultural development, power generation, and related Zionist settlement. The combined area is bounded to the north by the Jordan River from its outflow at Lake Tiberias (NW) inland to Ain et Turab (NE), and to the south by the Zarqa River (Nahr ez Zerka) inland as far as Jerash. Features include roads and tracks distinguishing those fit for Mechanical Transport, actual or proposed railways, trig stations, swamps, springs, telegraph, telephone, and police posts. The upper part of the Valley shows the development of Moshavot and Kibbutzim including Deganiye (Degania Alef), Umm Juniye ("Jewish"), Umm Junieh ("Persian"), Kinnereth ("Co-op"), Menahamiya, etc. The Rutenberg Power Station labelled close to the confluence of the Yarmouk River was nearing completion in the year of the RAF survey, and it began supplying Palestine in 1932. This major project was part of a significant concession Mandatory Palestine granted to Pinhas Rutenberg via his Palestine Electric Company. It involved several new hydro-electric power projects with others at Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Tiberias, which eventually supplied all of Palestine. Close by is a Police Station, and the Jezreel Valley Railway running south from Samakh as part of the Haifa to Dera'a branch of the Hejaz Railway. Rare with Worldcat and Library Hub locating 7 copies between them (Oxford, Cambridge, BL, NERC, NLS, LoC, National Library of Australia).
