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 books

1930réf. 182334London: Geographical Section General Staff War Office 1930. Later impression overprinted with a Cassini grid in 1930 following the first edition of 1926. This map of the Aden Protectorate and its neighbours was produced for the International Map of the World a project that aimed to create a complete world map at a 1:1000000 scale. It covers South Yemen and the Hadhramaut as well as the tip of French Somaliland. The International Map of the World or the Millionth Map of the World was first proposed by German geographer Albrecht Penck in 1891. The project was adopted by ten countries in 1909 who agreed to follow consistent rules and standards for mapping their own territories. While countries like the US and UK made strides at first "production was slow in the earlier years since it was first necessary to complete basic surveys for the required data and during and after World War II there was little interest in pursuing the project" Ency. Brit. Colour lithograph map 648 x 856 mm linen-backed perhaps not as issued key printed on recto; text in English and French. A little foxed dust-soiling slight wear and a few small holes along fold lines: a very good copy. unknown

1964réf. 182178Surrey: Directorate of Overseas Surveys 1964. Later edition printed in the second year of the protectorate. In addition to showing the states of Kathiri Mahra and Qu'aiti it also highlights the members of the Federation of South Arabia in colour and features three inset maps which show the entire region the island of Socotra and the State of Aden. The Directorate of Overseas Surveys was established in 1946 with responsibility for surveying parts of the British Empire that did not have the resources to otherwise map themselves. "The Directorate was charged with two key tasks. It was to provide national geodetic frameworks throughout the British Empire that would contribute to understanding the size and shape of the earth and constitute the basis for accurate mapping. It would also produce mapping using modern methods based on aerial photography. This would in turn help to inform the development and administration of each country" Natural Collection of Aerial Photography. This copy is the fourth edition. Colour map 324 x 406 mm printed on recto only key on recto. Map bright a little bowed sometime folded with a vertical crease at centre slightly creased at edges: a very good copy.
