[PHOTOGRAPHY - FALCONRY].
Two Bedouins hunting with birds of prey.
1880. Tipped onto a stiff paper mount ca. 40 x 30 cm. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. One albumen print ca. 22 x 27.5 cm. Striking large photograph of two Bedouins on horseback carrying large birds of prey for hunting. Bedouins have a long history of falconry as it was difficult for them to catch live prey in the desert otherwise. They typically captured the falcons trained them for a few months then released them back into the wild before breeding season. This tradition no longer exists in this manner as hunting is now forbidden throughout most of the Arabian Peninsula. As such the present photograph offers a unique insight into 19th-century falconry in the Arabian Desert.The edges are somewhat discoloured and the corners are creased from a past mounting method. Otherwise in very good condition. ABE CAT Falconry & Hunting ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - SAUDI ARABIA - KUWAIT].
Collection of twelve photographs capturing daily life in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s.
Saudi Arabia or Kuwait 1954. Ca. 28.8 x 22.8 cm sheet size: ca. 35.3 x 27.8 cm. Kept in clear plastic folder. Twelve photographic prints all signed and dated. 12 photographs. Remarkable collection of twelve photographs showing daily life of a community in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait in a time before oil wealth. The photographed people are likely all members of the same family. The moving images show the children engaged in wool spinning playing music on homemade instruments or posing in front of a wooden shed with their mother. The men are shown playing music and engaged in falconry. The beautifully captured portraits truly offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of these people. All photographs are signed and dated by hand. They must have been made by a skilled photographer but the signature is unfortunately unclear. The corners of some of the photographs are very slightly creased otherwise in excellent condition. ABE CAT Anthropology & Ethnography ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - MIDDLE EAST].
Collection of eleven snapshots from the Middle East.
Iraq 1920. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. With 11 snapshots all ca. 6 x 9 cm. Collection of 11 snapshots from the early 1920s likely taken by a British soldier stationed in the Middle East. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly where these photographs were taken but presumably in Mesopotamia present day Iraq. Great Britain was actively involved in Mesopotamia from 1914-1932. Prior to the First World War a large portion of the Middle East was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. However when the Ottomans sided with Germany in 1914 Great Britain sent forces to Mesopotamia to protect the Anglo-Persian oil fields. The British army initially suffered a major defeat but eventually gained the upper hand and captured Baghdad in 1917. In 1920 after the Ottoman Empire was partitioned the United Kingdom formally established control in the region under a mandate of the League of Nations. However the Iraqi people resented this idea and revolted. In 1922 Great Britain and Iraq then signed the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty in which Iraq was given the right for self-government while Great Britain stayed in control of the country's foreign policy. This would last until Iraq's independence in 1932.The present snapshots were taken in the early days of British control in the region and depict the atmosphere at the time. They show the daily life of locals including women collecting water from the river men standing guard and the hustle and bustle in the streets. Also included are various group photos of British soldiers and locals.The photographs show some traces of wear around the corners and edges but are overall in good condition. unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - SAUDI ARABIA].
Collection of thirteen press photographs.
1930. Kept in a brown kraft paper envelope. With 13 gelatin silver prints various sizes. A collection of thirteen press photographs from the 1930s showing Saudi Arabian leaders during diplomatic visits to Europe. The beautifully sharp and clear photographs give a good impressions of what these events must have been like at the time. Most of the photographs come with the text that would have accompanied them when they were published in a newspaper and are stamped on the back by the press agency that had the rights for publication. We have not been able to find any of these photographs in online archives.Four of the images show Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud 1906-1975 during a diplomatic visit to Great Britain. Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Faisal was very intelligent and was given numerous important duties as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13 and achieved his first military successes when he was 16. He succeeded his half brother as king of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler. The present photographs however show his visit to Great Britain in 1939. In particular his visit to the Royal Air Force stations in Middlesex and Northolt where he viewed the Hawker Hurricane planes which he considered to buy for the Royal Saudi Air Force. After his return however he decided against it.The other photographs show Fuad Bey Hamza 1899-1951 the Saudi ambassador in France and Fakry Pacha dates unknown the Egyptian ambassador in France during an Eid al-Fitr celebration in Paris in 1939 a portrait of Sheikh Sir Abdullah al-Salim al-Sabah 1895-1965 the 11th ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait and the Kaaba in Mecca during hajj.Some of the photographs are slightly discoloured or creased around the corners. Mostly in very good condition. unknown

Two large photographs of King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud 1906-1975 during the later years of his reign 1964-1975. Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. His intelligence was already apparent from a young age and he was chosen to represent his father in international forums as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13 and became Saudi Arabia's first Minister of Foreign Affairs at the age of 25. He succeeded his half-brother as King of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler until he was shot in 1975.The corners are slightly creased with a small vertical tear in the left margin of one of the photographs not affecting the image.
