This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. In 1952 and 1953, Thesiger had travelled in the Hindu Kush and Karakoram, in Chitral, Gilgit and Hunza, then he spent six months among the marshmen of southern Iraq, and in the summer of 1954, he set on another journey to Afghanistan where he lived in semi-submerged houses and travelled about in a canoe.

1960Best.-Nr. 144471960. Baltimore Sun photographic archive. Wirephoto showing Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser with Saudi royal leadership at an Arab summit conference during the 1960s a decade in which summit diplomacy became a principal forum for coordinating Arab policy on Israel Palestinian political organization regional security and disputes among Arab governments. Nasser convened the first formal Arab League summit in Cairo in January 1964; participating states included Saudi Arabia and the conference addressed the Jordan River dispute and plans for coordinated Arab military action. The supplied description identifies the second figure as the King of Saudi Arabia but does not provide a name or exact date so the individual monarch is not assigned here. Original black-and-white wirephoto measuring approximately 8.3 x 9.1 inches from the historical photographic archive of The Baltimore Sun. The image depicts Nasser with the Saudi leader during an Arab summit conference. Produced for newspaper use the photograph was electronically transmitted over telecommunications lines and reproduced at the receiving location allowing images of international political events to reach newspaper editorial offices rapidly. Such transmitted photographs formed part of the working visual record used by newspapers to illustrate foreign affairs coverage before digital distribution. The photograph preserves a contemporary press image from the period when Nasser used summit diplomacy to bring Arab heads of state into direct negotiations despite substantial political disagreements among their governments. The 1964 summit system for example brought together monarchies and republics around common regional questions even as relations among individual states remained strained. Watermark present; no additional condition defects are stated in the supplied description. unknown

1957Best.-Nr. 147851957. Palace of the Emir of Dhala March 15 1957 documents the seat of the Amiri ruler of Dhala during the final decade of the British Aden Protectorate. Dhala was a protected state under British authority from the early twentieth century until 1967 and in 1957 was ruled by Shafaul ibn Ali Shaif Al Amiri the emir who remained in power until the state was abolished in 1967. The photograph dates from a period of mounting political and military tension along the Aden Protectorate frontier; British parliamentary discussion in January 1957 specifically reported border raids and armed unrest in Dhala. Original black-and-white photograph dated March 15 1957 measuring 7 x 9 inches. The image shows the weathered Palace of the Emir built into Dhala's rocky terrain with its turret and façade constructed from stone similar in texture to the surrounding bouldered hillsides. In the foreground a small calf grazes among dry grasses while a line of royal guards stands on the opposite side of a stone wall. The juxtaposition of palace architecture armed attendants livestock and the arid landscape records both the physical setting of the emirate's ruling household and the immediate surroundings of the palace. The photograph predates Dhala's incorporation into the Federation of Arab Emirates of the South in 1959 and the subsequent political changes that culminated in the emirate's abolition in 1967. Some wrinkling to the bottom edge and right corner with age-related cracking to the upper portion; these flaws do not affect the clarity of the image. Overall good condition. A precisely dated architectural and political view of the Emir of Dhala's palace during the closing years of princely rule in the Aden Protectorate. unknown
