Añadir al carritoFolio (215 x 343 mm). 34 pp. With 8 folding maps printed in red, blue, and black, and a photographic frontispiece. Original red cloth titled in gilt. Eight handsome maps of Iraq published in a volume alongside information on the region gathered by the British after WWI, including climate, geography, the tribes of Iraq, and ancie…nt sites, as well as information on passports, consulates, coinage, the police and army, the "Development of Oil Resources," and "Government Regulations for Ladies Travelling in 'Iraq" aimed at the influx of European visitors and business interests in the interwar period. The maps show Iraqi highways for the prospective motorist, the cities of Baghdad and Basra, ancient sites, and trans-desert routes. Here published in a revised and enlarged edition. - Previously owned by the famous American archaeologist Richard Francis Strong Starr (1900-94), as indicated by an ownership inscription reading "R. F. S. Starr" on the front free endpaper. Starr was a member of the initial Harvard-Baghdad School dig at Nuzi (also known as Yorghan Tepe), near Kirkuk in Iraq, and was director of operations there from 1929 to 1931. Among other findings, this expedition uncovered thousands of cuneiform tablets associated with the Horites, an ancient people mentioned in Biblical texts but previously unknown to archeology. The site at Nuzi appears on the map of ancient sites in this volume. - The Kingdom of Iraq under British Administration, or Mandatory Iraq, existed between 1921 and 1932, after Iraqi nationalist pressure pushed back against the proposed British Mandate of Mesopotamia. During the postwar phase in which Britain had large colonial Mandates in the Middle East, tourism became increasingly popular, and such publications came into demand. - This is a particularly good copy with all of its maps intact and in good condition, with only slight signs of wear.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Near fine. Quarto. 34pp + 8 fold-out maps printed in three colors. A significant document recording the cartographical intervention of the British government in the affairs and perceptions of its then-colony. The relationship never stabilized (as much as any imperial claim can be said to do so), and in 1932… Iraq would become independent. But here in 1929, the governments of Britain and Iraq attempt to frame the Middle Eastern nation as an appealing historical landmark and even a casual tourist destination. Among the fold-outs are several road maps, a city map of Baghdad, and a map of all the ancient sites presumably of interest (e.g. Babylon, Ur, and Seleucia). The controlling exertions of the colonial power are most overt at the fifth map for "Trans-Desert Routes," where an outline of England is provided "for scale." Though the foreword declares the contrary - the notes "should not be regarded as necessarily containing the views of the Ministries of the Government - the tables of northern and southern "tours" and a nod to consumer air travel proves the opposite. Bound in red cloth over boards with gilt titling at upper cover. Modest edge rubs and bumps, some creasing to sixth map, which overlaps fore-edge, else near fine. Unrecorded in OCLC.
