This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. In November 1893 an agreement was signed between the British and Afghan governments defining on paper the boundary of the spheres of influence of the two governments wherever they touched each other. The British representative during the negotiations was sir Mortimer Durand, and the boundary in question was since then referred to as the Durand Line. Demarcation was successfully carried out along a considerable portion of the frontier. Owing however to conditions prevailing in tribal territory certain parts of the boundary line could not be visited, and much of it remained undemarcated. This narrative describes how in 1894, one of the gaps, a small but important one, had been filled in.

(charnières légèrement fendillées, frottis sur les coins, petit travail de ver en marge extérieure sans incidence sur le texte sur la plupart des feuillets, présence de rousseurs faibles dans l'ensemble sauf sur une dizaine de feuillets où elles sont plus soutenues, rares salissures marginales, présence d'une petite cerne angulaire sur quelques feuillets). Ce volume contient un bandeau gravé de MARILLIER et 15 planches hors-texte dont 2 dépliantes. Édition originale de cette traduction, peu courante, et seconde en français après celle de Mourier (Copenhague, 1773 ; puis 1774) qui avait été jugée incorrecte au point de vue du texte (fautes grossières et erreurs dans la langue arabe) et des planches. Niebuhr resta six années au Yémen (1761-1767), pays inviolé appelé alors l'Arabie heureuse. Il relata ses observations sur tous les aspects de la civilisation arabe avec un souci d'impartialité et d'exactitude qui lui font honneur. Son texte, très précis, comprend pour de nombreux lieux, objets, etc. le nom phonétique en arabe, et aussi l'écriture en arabe. Quant à la cartographie, elle est extrêmement précis, première à faire mention du Koweit. Il est aussi le premier à appeler YEMEN cette partie de l'Arabie. TOME 1 SEUL (sur 2 parus).
195036 pages. With a full-page sketch map and photographic plates.Does not have the map whic hwas published at alater date (the following year). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. A complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers among the Arabs, his narrative is vividly written. These papers cover the five years in which Thesiger spent in and around the Empty Quarter, the half million square miles of one of the cruellest deserts in the world. The 20th century was very fortunate in being able to have a record of some of the glory it lost as seen through the eyes and camera of this very remarkable explorer. He was born in the British Legation in Addis Ababa in 1910, an event that was to shape the life of this extraordinary man and spent his first nine years in Ethiopia, or Abyssinia as it was then called. By the time he accompanied his parents back to England in 1919, the sight, sounds, wildness and raw savagery of the land had been instilled in him and a traveller was born. His return to Ethiopia in 1930 for the crowning of HIM Haile Selassie marked the beginning of his first hunting and exploration adventures into this highly dangerous country. Wilfred Thesiger has an immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the people of the desert, the Bedu, and his work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq. But he says that none of these places moved him as did the deserts of Arabia. He spent five years in the region travelling on camels and on foot across some ten thousand miles of a vast empty land. What he found, as in his time with the people of the Iraq marshes which he described in his book The Marsh Arabs, was a way on life on the threshold of destruction.
1870réf. 146911870. Set of two large vintage albumen prints in sepia tone depicting life in the desert landscape of Aden c. 1870 now Yemen. Both photos depict the rugged landscape and village life typical in this region of the Arabian Penninsula. The first image foreground presents Arab men gathering with their camels around a well in the foreground while a carriage and horse wait at a bridge in the background. The reservoir of Attawila which dominates the image had been designed in medieval times to capture rain water during flash floods for drinking; while the resevoir fell out of use in the 16th century the British colonial forces who occupied and ruled Yemen revived their function in the 19th century. Today the monuments draw tourist attention. The second image shows travelers in motion on a dirt road leading to the city walls set between the precipices of Aden. Defensive ramparts traverse the mountain top. The first image measures approximately 8"x11" and is mounted on a photographer's matt with labels " Aden B.F.R. Rives." The second image measures approximately 7"x10" mounted on blue photographer's matt with label "Aden.- Route conduisant a la ville arabe d' Aden.-" Both overall in very good condition. unknown
