STARK, Freya
The Bronzes of Luristan
Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: This is an exceptional report detailing the author's journey into little-known Luristan and her facinating archeaological findings. She travelled from Nihavand over the Varazan Pass to Khava, then to Alishtar and back again though Khava to Difan, Chavarti, Duliskan and finally to Tudaru. In 1931 Stark had attempted to reach the middle of Luristan, the country of Tarhan east of the Saidmarreh river, where ancient tombs were rich in bronzes, but she was prevented entry by the Persian Police. Excerpt from the text: "I have written elsewhere the account of the actual travelling and its adventures, and will confine myself to what concerns the graves and their possible history. Special interest has been centred on those graves which are said to contain the trappings of horses and chariots, for the origins of the people who used such things may throw light on the coming of the horse into Persia.... I found a few older objects among the Islamic in Alishtar: some glass beads, silver earrings of the usual Luristan type, and a bronze arrow-head; but could not ascertain the exact spot where they had been found." End Excerpt. 8vo. 8 pages, plus 2 photographic plates for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This account pre-dates Stark's "The Valley of the Assassins: And Other Persian Travels," first published in 1934.

STEIN, Sir Aurel
Alexander's Campaign on the Indian North-West Frontier.
50 pages, in two consecutive issues as published. Plus photographic illustrations, and a fold-out color map measuring approximately 9 x 7.5 inches (23 x 19cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Two complete issues, seldom found in such good and original condition. The famous author's groundbreaking explorations between Upper Swat and the Indus in 1926 are passionately recounted by him in this preliminary report. During the archaeological tour of Graeco-Buddhist remains in Swat (now in the far north of Pakistan), Stein located Alexander's trail and traced it to Pir Sar at a bend in the Indus. Stein's main object was indeed to personally follow the track of Alexander the Great in the region, as far as it was accessible outside of Afghanistan. Prior to the discussion of the exploits described in this work, this region was beyond the administrative border of the Indian North-West Frontier, and was inaccessible to Europeans. This is the first major Western account of these areas. Stein's account pre-dates his important book by two years, "On Alexander's Track to the Indus. Personal Narrative of Explorations on the North-West Frontier of India," first published in 1929. Aurel Stein's surveys were inspired by archaeological and historical interests, and his fascination with the cultures of Cental Asia. Trained as an Orientalist and archaeologist, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. The routes and battlefields of Alexander’s campaign in the east had been a long-standing interest of Stein’s and whilst surveying for the Indian Government on the North-West frontier he was able to indulge his fascination. (Yakushi S336).

STEIN, Sir Aurel.
An Archaeological Tour in the Ancient Persis.
8 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 17 x 14 inches (43 x 36cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Narrative of a fascinating expedition into the innermost recesses of ancient Persia, for the purposes of documenting some of the oldest monuments in the history of civilization. Beautifully illustrated with plates and a stellar fold-out colour map of the Fars Province. Features exploration of Persia's northern Province of Fars host to the great Achaemenian sites of Persepolis and Pasargadae. Includes the citadel of Qala-i-Gabri; the palace below Tang-ab gorge; Firuzabad, a ruined Sasanian palace in Sarvistan; the Mound of Tal-i-Zohak in Fasa, and that known as the castle of Bahram, Dehbid; the reservoirs built along cliffs above the ruined 'Town of Ij;' the colossal rock sculptures at Nakhsh-i-Rustam, Darab and much more. Trained as an orientalist and archaeologists, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. This expedition took him into the heart of Persia, modern day Iran. Iran has a long and rich history, with some of the most famous conquerors and war lords ever to dominate the continent of Asia. Some of the world's most ancient settlements have been excavated in the Caspian region and on the Iranian plateau; village life began there c.4000 B.C. The Aryans came about 2000 B.C. and split into two main groups, the Medes and the Persians. The Persian Empire founded (c.550 B.C.) by Cyrus the Great was succeeded, after a period of Greek and Parthian rule, by the Sassanid in the early 3d century A.D. Their control was weakened when Arab invaders took (636) the capital, Ctesiphon; it ended when the Arabs defeated the Sassanid armies at Nahavand in 641. With the invasion of Persia the Arabs brought Islam. The Turks began invading in the 10th century. and soon established several Turkish states. The Turks were followed by the Mongols, led by Jenghiz Khan in the 13th century and Timur in the late 14th century.

STEWART, Colonel C. E.
The Herat Valley and the Persian Border, from the Hari-rud to Sistan.
20 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map measuring approximately 13.25 x 11.5 inches (34 x 29cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a considerably detailed account of Colonel Stewart's journeys and excursions in Perso-Afghan frontier - from the Hari-rud to Sistan - and in the Herat valley, with engaging portrayal of the desert life, tribal raids and slavery, border conflicts and mutiny, ancient ruins, less-visited towns and villages as well as fascinating remarks on the travel routes of Marco Polo and Kanikoff, history of Mogul raids, massive cultivation and consumption of tobacco, poppy and opium - "Men, women, and children even, smoke opium to a terrible extent, and I was assured that hundreds of people died annually from the effects of opium" - fine quality Persian carpet, and construction of railway by the Russians. Accompanied by a magnificent fold out colour map, this captivating account beautifully describes the author's adventurous travels, in which he suffered from excruciating heat and thirst crossing the Lut dessert, taking a route closely to that of the Kanikoff. Arriving in Khaf shortly after Sardar Ayoub Khan being defeated by the Amir at Kandahar, the author proceeds to the ancient and historically important city of Zuzan, where the inhabitants including women and children, were slaughtered by the Moguls. After visiting the ruined fortifications, he passes through the Ahinguran range reaching the town of Birjand with only 14000 inhabitants, from there he proceeds towards the flourishing town of Khusf, marching to Khur and Balabund, visiting the small village of Naiband with only 400 inhabitants, who were continuously subjected to raids by marauding Baluchis. Here he points out the road travelled by Marco Polo from Karman (Kerman) to Kain. After staying 3 days in Naiband, he returns back to Birjand, from there he continues his journey to the Persian frontier opposite Lash-Jowain, visiting Duruh, Tabbas, Gazik, and Yazdun, then getting back to his headquarters at Khaf and returning to England. Shortly after, he starts another journey to the Perso-Afghan frontier, accompanying the Shah of Persia on his travel along the then newly demarcated frontier between Persia and Russia on the northern border of Khorasan, and from there the author proceeds to the village of Mohsinabad, about 80 miles from Herat. He stays there for approximately nine months, making a long adventurous excursion in 1883 across the Hari Rud into Badghis, trying to avoid the Turkoman raiding parties. During his stay from September 1883 to May 1884, some thirty persons were carried off into slavery by the Turkomans, among them a few were from the village of Mohsinabad. After this journey, Colonel Stewart was sent to Herat, along with two engineer officers, Major Holdich and Captain Peacocke, they marched to the village of Rozanak, Sahar Kiz, then reaching Herat. Colonel stewart makes a few excursions, including visiting the holy shrine of Gazar Gah containing the tomb of a Mohammedan saint named Abdul Ansari. He remarks on the construction of the railway by the Russians from the Caspian Sea via Askabad and Merv to Samarkand, and points out on the possibility of running railroads in Central Asia - which could be easily supplied by the high quantity of extracted Petroleum - continuing the Quetta line to Herat, and joining it to the Russian line.

SYKES, Christopher.
Some Notes on a Recent Journey in Afghanistan.
8 pages, including a full-page sketch map. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. While in Tehran, Mr. Sykes planned to visit Luristan (Lorestan) and Bakhtiari provinces of Persia (Iran), but an order was given by a high authority of Reza Shah's Government, forbidding travellers to enter those two remote provinces, located in the West and South-West Iran (at the time Reza Shah was trying to diminish foreign influence in Iran), however, the opportunity presented itself through the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Persia, Sher Ahmad Khan, to make a journey to the less-known provinces of northern Afghanistan. In this fascinating account Mr. Sykes provides vivid and detailed description of his travel route, with mentions of every towns and villages, also illustrating his route on a full-page sketch map. He enters Afghanistan from Persia by the Kariz-Islam Kala road, he first reaches Bala Murghab, makes fascinating comments on the traditional dresses of Afghans, Turkomans, Usbegs, and Tajiks of this town, then he crosses Band-i-Turkistan on horseback entering Maimana, then Daulatabad, Andkhui, Akcha, and Balkh, he visits the magneficent ruins of Balkh, continuing his journey, he reaches Mazar-i-Sharif, Khanabad, and from there to Barfak by Kunduz pass, passing through a few other small towns and villages, he finally reaches his destination at Kabul. Also includes interesting remarks on the Turkomans and their camps; rich Usbeg herdsmen, Jewish merchants, lambskin markets, and interesting comparison between Afghan pronounciation and dialect to those of Persian. This is a truely fascinating travel account, accompanied by a full-page descriptive route sketch map and fabulous photographic plates depicting Mausoleum at Herat, Afghans putting out curred lambskins to dry on the roof on a caravanserai at Andkhui, Kebitka tent at a Turkoman encampment between Andkhui and Akcha, and the Kunduz ferry.

SYKES, Mark.
Journeys in North Mesopotamia.
18 pages, including photographic illustrations and a large fold-out map, measuring approximately 9 x 17 inches (23 x 43cm). Contained within 2 complete issues of the Royal Geographical Society. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Two complete issues, small chip to cover of one issue, otherwise seldom found in such good and original condition. The region explored by Sykes in northern Mesopotamia was then little-known and only partially explored, making this a highly important expedition, as some of the earliest cultures in the world and indeed the cradle of civilization itself was thought to have sprung from the depths of these historic lands. Featuring primarily Kurdish custom, he reveals the contemporary Wetsern perceptions of Arabs being 'savage' and Kurds as 'ruthless'. While chronicling his journey he also describes astounding and legendary sites such as Ain el Arus, concluding with the important objective of a proposed railway route from Ras-el-ain, following the Khabur south to Shedadeh, to Tell Afar, then along the Tigris.

TEMPLE, BEAVAN, CAMPBELL
The Highway from the Indus to Candahar. Notes on the Country between Candahar and Girishk.
8vo. Two reports together in one issue, 23 pages combined, plus sketch illustrations, one which is a fold-out and a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 13 x 14 inches (33 x 36cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Dealing specifically with the construction of a railway from Sukkur in today's Pakistan to Kandahar in Afghanistan, in the late 1870s during "The Great Game", Sir Temple gives an explicit account of the progress of construction, and of the geography, illustrating the region with sketches which were prepared on the spot by Lieutenant Goerge Temple of the British Navy. The immense undertaking is further illustrated with a striking colour fold-out map showing railways constructed and in operation, and other tracts proposed. Consisting of the important Bolan Pass railway, and the Sindh-Peshin railway where the Harnai line and the Quetta loop line meet, the tracks were forged through low range hills, an arid desert, the Pishinaleey of Pishin, and the Bolan Pass of the Toba Kakar Range in Balochistan - a pass which has always occupied an important place in the history of British campaigns in Afghanistan. Captain R. Beavan was Assistant-Superintendent of the Survey of India, and presents in his account a scientific assessment of the rivers, desert regions and valleys in Afghanistan, between Kandahar and Girishk, the latter being 75 miles northwest and originally built around a fort which was twice taken and abandoned by British forces.
