Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: 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). Origi…nal 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).

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Original British military topographical map of western Afghanistan, sheet size 48.2 × 63.1 cm, published within the Geographical Section, General Staff quarter-inch series at the scale of 1:253,440 or one inch to four miles. The underlying cartography is designated First Edition, 1941, but this… particular physical impression was printed in 1949 in a stated run of only 1,000 copies. The sheet covers parts of the Farah and Herat Provinces close to the Iranian frontier, recording roads, tracks, caravan routes, settlements, camps, wells, springs, cultivated areas and extensive desert and mountain terrain, with relief printed in brown. It was compiled principally from North-West Frontier Sheet 12 S.E., First Edition, with additions to 1936 and other available sources. The 1949 printing belongs to a significant transitional period following the end of the Second World War and the independence of India and Pakistan, when Afghanistan remained strategically important between Iran, the Soviet sphere and the newly reorganised political geography of South Asia. Closely related Afghanistan mapping was subsequently reprinted by the U.S. Army Map Service; Western Michigan University preserves numerous AMS U511 sheets derived from earlier British G.S.G.S. and Survey of India cartography, including Farah-area mapping. The stated 1,000-copy print run gives this impression particular scarcity interest. Very good condition, retaining original folds, with light handling and creasing, minor age-related marking and some localised wear and short tearing to the right-hand margin; complete and strongly legible.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Colour printed paper map 74x58cm, with index map, keys and aeronautical data to the verso. Very good, neatly folded. This first GSGS edition dated 1953, was based on a USAF Pilotage Chart (1948, revised June 1952), with air information supplied by the Ministry of Defence as at Nove…mber 1952, and reproduced by the Ordnance Survey in an edition of 5,000 in July 1953 (5,000/7/53).

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Large original British military strategic map measuring 76.1 × 103.6 cm, published by the Geographical Section, General Staff at the scale of 1:4,000,000. A visually impressive wartime map covering a vast area from the Balkans, Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean across Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon,… Palestine, Transjordan, Iraq and Iran to the Persian Gulf, and southwards into Egypt and Libya. Major centres including Cairo, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beirut, Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad, Basra, Tehran and Istanbul are shown, together with roads, railways, relief, hydrography and strongly emphasised international and administrative boundaries. The 1941 date is of particular significance, placing the map within a year in which British and Allied forces were engaged across the Western Desert, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and in the joint Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran, while the region's oilfields, ports and communications routes were of exceptional strategic importance. Institutional examples are recorded at Yale University Library and the National Library of Israel, while Cambridge University Library preserves an archival record for The Near and Middle East, 1940-1941. The map was also specifically listed among the cartographic materials supplied to the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, demonstrating its continued official relevance after the war. Very good condition, retaining original folds with light handling and creasing, minor marginal wear and slight age-related marking; complete, clean and particularly attractive in its blue, brown, green and purple printing.

Coverage on the Basra side is bounded by Iraq's borders with Iran, Kuwait and the Saudi-Ku…waiti Neutral Zone (E, with Basra at the eastern edge), the Saudi-Iraqi Neutral Zone (S), Sinjar (W), and Diwaniya (N). The Baghdad side extends northward from Diwaniya (S), bounded by Haditha (W), Kirkuk (N), and Kermanshah (E). First produced by the Geographical Section, General Staff (GSGS) for the War Office (in 1942 and 1928 respectively), both were reproduced by the Ordnance Survey in 1951 with lines of equal magnetic variation to June 1953. This dates them to Mohammed Mosadegh's rise to power in Iran, nationalisation of the oil industry and the resulting Abadan Crisis; the US-Saudi Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement; and accelerated development planning in Kuwait. Details include boundaries (international and regional including non-demarcated), several grades of settlement, important ruins, provinces, tribal names, mountains and hills, several grades of road and track, telegraph, oil pipelines with pumping stations, water features, water pipelines, contours, spot heights, post office, telegraph office, forts, churches, mosques, minarets, tombs, sand dunes, boulders, lava, marshes, etc.

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.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: 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. It was printed at the War Office…in 1932, contemporary with pioneering explorations in the Libyan Desert. 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.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: 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.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Large original colour-printed military map, measuring 86.2 × 64 cm, titled Aden and formally designated 1:1,000,000 Asia Sheet North D-38 Aden, Fourth Edition, with air information, drawn, compiled and reproduced by 512 Field Survey Company, Royal Engineers, in July 1945. Covering south-western… Arabia and the western Gulf of Aden, the map extends across Yemen, the Western and Eastern Aden Protectorates, the Hadhramaut, the French Somaliland coast and the Bab-el-Mandeb, with Aden, Little Aden, Khormaksar, Sheikh Othman, Perim Island, Taiz, Mocha, Hodeida, Djibouti and extensive inland tribal and administrative territories shown in considerable detail. Roads, tracks, settlements, communications, rivers, wells, relief, territorial boundaries and coastal features are supplemented by a conspicuous red military aeronautical overprint identifying airfields, landing grounds, abandoned or unconfirmed facilities, seaplane stations and restricted flying areas, the air information having been supplied by Headquarters, Royal Air Force, Middle East, in June 1945. The compilation statement records the use of East African survey material, 1943 trimetrogon aerial photography, AAF Aero Chart No. 687, the third-edition GSGS Aden sheet and communications intelligence. An unusually informative late-war operational map of a strategically crucial region commanding the southern entrance to the Red Sea and the maritime route through the Suez Canal. Original folding issue, not laid down. In very good condition for a working military map, with the original folds, moderate age-toning, scattered light foxing and surface marking, minor fold wear and short marginal or splits; the colour and printed detail remain strong and the map is substantially complete and highly presentable. Institutional reference: The Charles Hepworth Collection at the Middle East Centre Archive, St Antony's College, Oxford, records a 1945 Fourth Edition of North D-38 Aden, produced by 512 Field Survey Company, Royal Engineers. The catalogue entry does not state whether that example carries the additional "With Air Information" aeronautical overprint found on the present sheet, so it cannot presently be confirmed as the same state or issue.
