1975Best.-Nr. 148221975. Press photograph 1975 depicting Sheikh Suhaim bin Hamad Al Thani Qatar's first Minister of Foreign Affairs three years after his appointment to the newly established post in 1972. Qatar had declared independence in September 1971 and joined the United Nations the same month; Suhaim's tenure therefore coincided with the country's early development of an independent diplomatic service and formal relations with foreign states. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs identifies him as the state's first foreign minister appointed on February 23 1972. Original gelatin silver print black-and-white press photograph dated 1975 on the verso and measuring 5 x 6.5 inches. Sheikh Suhaim appears in formal portrait wearing a thobe and ghutra secured with an agal. The closely framed image concentrates on the minister's head and upper body presenting the official responsible for Qatar's foreign relations during the first years following independence. The 1975 date places the image during Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani's reorganization and expansion of the Qatari government a period in which diplomatic relations were being established with additional countries at ambassadorial level. The photograph preserves a contemporary press image of the official charged with directing Qatar's foreign ministry during the state's early independent diplomacy. The dated verso establishes its 1975 circulation or production context without requiring attribution to a specific press agency. Very good condition. unknown

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 detailed first-hand expedition report of discoveries made by accomplished Libyan Desert explorer Ralph A. Bagnold. Although retired from the military since 1935, Bagnold remained a desert explorer. With the aid of the Egypt Exploration Society, in 1938 Bagnold organized his most ambitious scientific expedition to the Gilf Kebir and Uweinat. While on this venture, fellow explorers, Hans Winkler, recorded rock art at Karkur Talh, and Oliver Myers excavated two main neolithic sites in the Gilf Kebir, in Wadi Bakht and Ard al Akhdar. Bagnold and Shaw also discovered a new rock art site in Karkur Murr, and one also in Wadi Abd el Melik in the Gilf Kebir. With contributions by Bagnold's expedition members Myers, Peel and Winkler, this comprehensive dissertation is clearly outlined in sections dealing with the Sir Robert Mond expedition, archaeological work - specifically of Palaeolithic sites and later sites, on rock-drawings and paintings, Tibu (Guraan Remains), dramatic features and craters of the Gilf Kebir, rock pictures at Uweinat, Sand Movement and Dunes, and a section describing logistics such as transport, navigation and supplies. This is Bagnold's preliminary reveal of critical findings, which precedes the release of his book, 'The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes' which was not published until 1941. A marble plaque in memory of Bagnold's 1938 Egypt Exploration Society's Expedition was later placed along the Tropic of Cancer at Gilf Kebir by the Zarzora Expedition.

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. The author endeavors to clear up the mystery surrounding the long lost ancient oasis 'Zerzura' in the Libyan Desert. He provides a succinct lucid account accompanied by a spectacular fold-out map including routes traveled in his quest for knowledge and discovery. In hope of finding the lost oasis of Zerzura, in 1929 Major Bagnold and his expedition team had explored extensive regions west and south-west of Ain Dalla. The Zerzura was not found. Several others followed in pursuit of answering the age old mystery. The mythical city or oasis, Zerzura, 'the oasis of fluttering birds' described in old manuscripts dating as far back as the 13th century, is rumoured to have existed in the desert west of the Nile River in Egypt or Libya. This disputed oasis situated in the regions of the Libyan desert has long been a topic of hot controversy and debate.

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. Accompanying his narrative with a vivid map of the ancient district of Olba, placing several ruined villages, temples and fortresses, revered explorer and archaeological Theodore Bent examines the ancient region known as Cilicia Tracheia, meticulously inspecting even small sites. On the map he compares ancient routes to his own, and indicates 'Oura' in modern Anatolia, the temple of Hermes, and several ancient cities. Bent's first-hand account describes physical evidence from the Byzantine Empire, and the contemporary Yuruk or Yörük nomads with whom he interacted.
