‎[PHOTOGRAPHY - THIRD ARAB-ISRAELI WAR - ISRAEL] DONY, Bianca‎

‎Album with photographs showing parts of Israeli captured territories including the Golan Heights the West Bank parts of Jerusalem the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula.‎

‎Israel 1967. Oblong album ca. 20 x 26 cm; photographs in slightly varying sizes ca. 18.5 x 24 cm. Grey faux-leather photo album with a small white label on the front board: "42 x Israël 1967 23-24-25 Juli". 44 silver gelatin photographs including 2 duplicates and 1 other loosely inserted. 44 photographs in an album with 30 clear plastic inserts. A rare collection of fascinating original photographs capturing the first Western tourists in Israel and Israeli captured territories approximately a month after the Six-Day War in 1967 by Dutch journalist and photographer Bianca Maria Dony. The 44 photos in the album show the passenger ship SS Pegasus soldiers local people in the streets of Jerusalem and other cities an early war monument checkpoints destroyed military vehicles and other remnants of the war. The album is from the archive of the photographer; some of these photographs were sold to and published in national Dutch and international newspapers and magazines while others remained unpublished.Bianca Dony was part of a group of 150 Christian tourists from various European countries who were now - after the Israeli capture of these areas - able to visit the holy places in the old city of Jerusalem Bethlehem and other places that had previously been inaccessible. The tourists in the present photographs were the first of many and Dony took this opportunity to not only document the trip itself but also the general aftermath of the war.With an additional leaf in the inside front pocket of the album containing notes of how many photographs were sold to different newspapers and magazines including 10 to the "Haagsche Courant" written in blue and red ink and in pencil. Added to the first photograph in the album is a newspaper clipping from the "Jerusalem Post" with the headline "Haifa direct to old city for first time" about the first tourists visiting Israel after the Six-Day War. Some of the clear plastic inserts have small round white stickers on them with different abbreviations connecting the photographs to the newspapers and magazines that possibly printed them for example "HC" for Haagsche Courant etc. 3 photographs are loosely inserted and 2 of these are duplicates of other photo's in the album the 2 duplicates contain a blue stamp "foto bianca dony 147 Malakkastraat Den Haag - Tel. 5582540 Giro 303814" and a manuscript caption in red ink on the back. Most other photographs are simply numbered in pencil on the back. This rare collection of 44 historically significant photographs is in very good condition.l Cf. Rebecca L.

‎WAR OFFICE‎

‎Qatar & The Gulf States. Hofuf & Bandar Abbas.‎

‎London: War Office 1957. 2 maps 62 x 72.5 cm printed recto verso in colour on one single sheet of rayon artificial silk marked "Restricted " in red. Published by the War Office in 1957 the present map shows large swathes of what are now the United Arab Emirates on a scale of 1:1000000. To the recto is a map entitled 'Hofuf' which shows the Persian Gulf Qatar Peninsula Bahrain Island part of the north-eastern coast of Saudi Arabia and a small part of Oman. To the verso is a map entitled 'Bandar Abbas' showing the Persian Gulf the Straights of Hormuz the Gulf of Oman and bordering countries. Both maps had first been produced by the War Office in 1945 and were revised only slightly for use here. Some light trivial fraying and small fold mark to upper margin not affecting map generally an excellent copy. During the Second World War the British War Office began to produce Escape and Evasion maps for its soldiers and personnel printed on Rayon acetate. Because of the silky nature of this material however which was chosen for its durability and portability they came to be known as silk maps. The War Office and later the Department of Defence continued to produce these throughout the twentieth century covering many regions across the world. The maps take the standard form of British Escape and Evasion maps with relief represented by hachures altitude tints and spot heights which height given in metres. Among the significant features shown are borders highways important roads railway tracks airports rivers bodies of water and telegraph lines. These are identified in keys alongside both maps where relevant information such as "fresh water" is emphasised. Alongside these keys there are other helpful resources for military personnel in the area whether by design or due to an emergency landing. These include a glossary of Romanised Arabic terms and diagrams placing the region shown in its wider geographical context. In 1932 Said bin Taimur became the Sultan of Muscat of Oman his Sultanate stretching down the entirety of Oman's eastern coast. His reign was supported by the British Government which maintained significant control over his land installing its ministers in his government. British interest the area was mainly motivated by the promise of oil with the Iraq Petroleum Company IPC being 23% British-owned and over the following decades the Sultan and the Company searched the deserts in the hope of striking a new and lucrative deposit. After failing to discover any significant resources within his direct domain however Said bin Taimur with the backing of the IPC raised an army to occupy the Imamate of Oman where he hoped to find oil at last. Thus in 1954 the Jebel Adkhdar War or Oman War broke out as the local Omanis and their leader Imam Ghalib ALhinai fought against the combined forces of the Sultanate and the British Army to protect their land from the would-be occupiers. Eventually Arab states including Egypt Saudi Arabia and Iraq came to the support of the Imamate but the war nevertheless stretched on until 1959 when a final effort by. The British SAS brought the conflict to a decisive end. The treatise and agreements signed in the aftermath of the war were heavily weighted towards British interests giving them trading rights the islands of Kuria Muria and extensive power over the Sultanate's ministries. The Sultanate was thus transformed into a de facto British colony. The present map produced in the very middle of the conflict shows much of the theatre of the Jebel Adkhdar War. It is not entirely clear however why the cities of Hofuf and Bandar Abbas both of which are indeed shown on their respective maps are selected as the titles for each. Neither seems to have played a role in the war and in fact the latter was a small fishing port of about 17000 people during the late 1950s. They are by no means the only cities to be shown with a wealth of toponyms covering the maps and so it remains a mystery why they have been singled out as titles.

Signed by 39 of the 49 correspondents First edition of this remarkable collection of 49 war correspondent's tales with the signature of 39 of the correspondents on rice paper pasted beneath their submission.

Each correspondent offered a short article recounting their most exciting war story to date and the entire proceeds of the final collection were donated to Teikoku Gunjin Yengokwai an organisation which provided aid to those serving in the army and navy.

Writing at the time for the Hearst Press Jack London contributed "A Camera and a Journey" p. 123 which was also published the same year in the San Francisco Examiner under the title: "How Jack London Got in and out of jail in Japan". In the article London recounts his misadventure taking snapshots in Moji which led to his arrest for unauthorized photography a 5 yen fine and the subsequent confiscation of his camera. Octavo.
