1970réf. 144461970. Baltimore Sun photographic archive. Press wirephoto of the King of Saudi Arabia at an Arab summit conference circa 1970s documenting the participation of the Saudi monarchy in high-level inter-Arab diplomacy during a decade shaped by the Arab-Israeli conflict the 1973 war oil politics and negotiations among Arab governments over regional policy. The supplied description does not identify the monarch exact summit or specific date and these details cannot be established from the available information. Original black-and-white press wirephoto measuring approximately 8.3 x 9.1 inches from the historical photographic archive of The Baltimore Sun. The image shows the Saudi king attending an Arab summit conference and was produced for rapid newspaper distribution. Wirephotos were transmitted electronically over telecommunications networks and printed at the receiving newspaper office allowing international political photographs to reach editorial desks within the short publication schedules of daily newspapers. The print therefore preserves both the summit image and the physical form in which such photographs circulated through twentieth-century press organizations. Photographs of Arab summit meetings supplied American newspapers with visual records of political leaders whose decisions affected war diplomacy petroleum policy and relations with the United States and Europe. This example remained in The Baltimore Sun's working photographic archive and retains a watermark. No additional condition defects are stated in the supplied description. unknown books
1980réf. 225521980. Arabian American Oil Company. Aramco and Its World: Arabia and the Middle East published in 1980 documents the corporate information system through which Aramco explained Saudi history Islamic culture regional geography petroleum engineering and industrial development to employees and a wider English-language audience. Replacing the longstanding Aramco Handbook title the volume grew from instructional booklets created during the company's postwar expansion to orient incoming American personnel unfamiliar with Arabic and Saudi social practices. Its coordinated use of historical narrative landscape photography technical diagrams and cultural guidance reveals how Aramco presented itself as both a petroleum enterprise and an intermediary between Saudi Arabia and the industrialized West providing primary-source evidence for research into corporate communications expatriate training petroleum infrastructure and United States-Saudi relations. Publication coincided with the Saudi government's acquisition of a 100 percent participation interest in Aramco's concession rights production and facilities although the Saudi Arabian Oil Company was not formally created to assume Aramco's responsibilities until 1988. Arabian American Oil Company. Aramco and Its World: Arabia and the Middle East. Washington D.C.: Arabian American Oil Company 1980. First edition in this revised and retitled form. xi 275 pages. Profusely illustrated with color photographs maps and diagrams including double-page and folding material. Publisher's blue cloth lettered in turquoise; no dust jacket. Large 4to. A large folding color map titled "The Arabian Peninsula" drawn by Don Thompson and measuring approximately 24 × 36 inches is inserted at the rear. The book traces the growth of the modern Saudi state the geography of the peninsula and the development of Aramco's petroleum system. Illustrated cultural sections show desert dwellings coffee preparation camel travel goat herding Islamic calligraphy and landscapes including Jabal al-Fil while technical chapters record seismic surveying in the Rubʿ al Khali drilling equipment instrument-filled control rooms offshore platforms tanker-loading facilities and the geometrically arranged storage and refining installations at Ras Tanura. Maps locate Middle Eastern oil fields and Aramco concession areas and charts using 1978 data compare global petroleum production reserves and consumption. The folding map extends the volume's educational purpose beyond the bound text presenting topography cities transportation routes and political boundaries on a scale suited to reference or display. A manuscript inscription on the front free endpaper reads "Dear Dick and Susie.I'm on page 117" preserving evidence of the book's circulation as a personal or professional presentation copy. The volume's detailed visual record is governed by Aramco's institutional viewpoint. Its photographs and diagrams demonstrate the process by which geological surveying extraction refining transportation and export operated as an integrated industrial network while its treatment of Bedouin life and Saudi culture translates complex communities into introductory material for predominantly foreign readers. The timing gives this edition particular interpretive value: its language continues the company's established narrative of technological leadership and cultural mediation even as ownership of the petroleum enterprise passed fully to the Saudi government. Official Aramco histories confirm that Saudi participation reached 100 percent in 1980 making the book evidence of both the mature American corporate communication apparatus and the transition toward Saudi control. Light sunning and small marks affect the blue cloth; the folding map is clean and well preserved and the contents remain sound. Very good. A substantial illustrated record of the technical and cultural knowledge Aramco used to explain its operations during a pivotal year in the transfer of Saudi petroleum ownership. unknown books

193326 pages. Plus black and white photographic plates and large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 15 x 15 inches (38 x 38cm). 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. Accompanied by a spectacular descriptive colour map, this is Philby's first-hand expedition report on early explorations into unknown regions of Arabia, under the auspices and patronage of His Majesty `Abdul `Aziz ibn Sa`ud, King of the Hejaz and Nejd and its Dependencies. Philby continues where Bertram Thomas left off - "ninety days of wanderings across Arabia by way of the Rub'al Khali" in this riveting narrative. Key to Philby's compelling story telling is his attention to detail: we learn of the breed of camels employed for the gruelling expedition - Umaniya - best of all strains; of the characters of the eighteen strong party - their fear and reluctance to navigate the Empty Quarter and the presence of evil omen; descriptions of adherence to the fast of Ramadhan, condemning the party to thirty hungry days with nothing to eat or drink between daybreak and sunset. Philby's central objective lay in as complete an observation as possible of the Jafura desert, an extensive northward continuation of the sands of the Great South Desert reaching from the line Jaub-Jabrin to within a few miles of the Hasa oasis and skirted on the east by the esturay-like depressions known as Jiban. Features Anbak, settlement of antiquity and small oasis; Qasr ibn Dahbash, Jabrin District; Dharbun ridge; arrival at Wabar; the sand slopes of Naifa; Hadhat al Hawaya and many more locations. Includes fascinating discussion of the Murra tribes people; the search for Maqainama or Magan; the wells of Bir Fadhil; the discovery of an unexpected volcano and craters at Wabar, mythical site of an ancient civilization and much more.
