"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group, and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" (Dave Foreman, 1980s). The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members, and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth, while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's, the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s, though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media. Front cover (half-page, folded) illustration by Hungry Knife shows colorful animal cartoon characters preparing for the "EF! Roadshow" and corresponds with the feature article (on page 13) "Gearing Up for the EF! Roadshow."

In den WarenkorbFolio album (260 x 320 mm). 48 vintage photographs, all ca. 160 x 210 mm. Mounted on cardboard within hand-drawn gilt frames. Bound in green felt over sturdy boards. Marbled endpapers. Metal pins to fasten a tie fixed to central fore-edges of boards. An exceptional photo album documenting a pilgrimage to Mekka, prepared by the P…ersian civil servant Haj Sayyid Ali, who had a deep passion for art and photography. Notably, the album includes two of the earliest known photographs of the famous Nabataean rock tombs at Mada'in Salih (Hegra) in the area of Al-'Ula, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008, predating by three years those taken by the French archaeologist and Hejaz railway engineer Paul Gaudin in 1907. - Sayyid Ali was among the pilgrimage entourage of the Persian statesman Amin al-Soltan (1858-1907), who had been known as the Atabak Al-Azam during most of his second tenure as Prime Minister (1898-1903). After his dismissal in September 1903, he "sought permission to go to Mecca" (Calmard), and as the Hajj would not begin until late February, the group spent the preceding months on a world tour that took them "to Russia, China, Japan, the United States, and Egypt. Accompanied by some of his closest friends (notably his son Mirza Ahmad Khan and Mahdi-Qoli Khan Hedayat, who wrote the account of this travel), [Amin al-Soltan] was in several instances (e.g., in Japan and Ottoman Arabia) given a semi-official reception" (ibid.). - The album, which is concerned only with the Hejaz and Syrian leg of the tour, opens with a series of honorific photographs that include the then ruler of Persia, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah, and his late father and predecessor, Naser al-Din, as well as portraits of several of the Persian dignitaries who accompanied Amin al-Soltan on his journey. A number of portraits show Awn ar-Rafiq, the Emir and Sharif of Mecca (once seen seated with a member of the party). A substantial suite of photographs captures the Kaaba and the Masjid al-Haram, the tent cities outside Masjid al-Khayf at Mina, and the Haram at Medina. Two photographs then record an excursion to Mada'in Salih, where a large entourage on horseback and foot is seen inspecting the monumental tombs of the Hegra necropolis. At the end of the album we find exterior and interior pictures of the Umayyad mosque in Damascus, while the final portrait is undoubtedly that of the compiler and photographer himself, Haj Sayyid Ali, who would go on to serve briefly as treasurer under Prime Minister Farman-Farma. - Probably the only known surviving photographic record of a Qajar-era pilgrimage to Mecca prepared by a Persian, and an outstanding archaeological document boasting what are apparently the earliest extant photographic images of Al'-Ula, both previously unknown. - Felt of the binding rubbed down to textile at spine and extremeties. Some photographs a little faded, stained, or poorly fixed, but very well preserved in general. Annotated throughout in blue ink, probably several years after completion of the tour, mostly on the cardboard below the image, but sometimes within it. - Cf. Mehdi Qoli Khan Hedayat, Safar-nama ye tasharrof be Makka-ye mo'azzama az tariq-e Chin o Zhapon o Emrika (Tehran, n.d.). J. Calmard, "Atabak-e A'zam, Amin-al-Soltan", in: Encyclopaedia Iranica II (1987), pp. 878-890.

In den Warenkorb4 topographic maps, colour-printed. 70 x 58 cm (1:1,000,000), 66 x 55.5 cm (1:500,000), ca. 54 x 45 cm (1:200,000). Constant ratio linear horizontal scale. In Russian (Cyrillic). The Soviet Union's 1:1,000,000, 1:500,000, and 1:200,000 General Staff map quadrangles showing Al-`Ula: from the Russian series of military maps produc…ed during the Cold War, based on high-quality satellite imagery, but usually also ground reconnaissance. The information was compiled during the years 1982, 1967-70, and 1972-75; the editors were V. R. Iost, Ju. V. Chekusov, and N. D. Yarema, respectively. The smaller-scale maps cover the northwestern coastal portion of the Arabian Peninsula, the large-scale maps provides an astonishing degree of detail. The oasis town Al-`Ula, on the historical Incense Road, is depicted in the Wadi Al-'Ula; nearby landmarks include the Jabal al Mijdar, Khuraybah, and Bi'r 'Udhayb. - Products of a massive, clandestine cartographic project begun under Stalin and ultimately encompassing the entire globe, the Soviet General Staff maps are today noted for their extreme precision. Indeed, even in post-Soviet times they provide the most reliable mapping for many remoter parts of the world: "Soviet-era military maps were so good that when the United States first invaded Afghanistan in late 2001, American pilots relied on old Russian maps of Afghanistan. For almost a month after the United States began a bombing campaign to help oust the Taliban government, American pilots were guided by Russian maps dating back to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s" (Davies/Kent, p. xi). - Although the details of the cartographic programme evolved over the decades, its overall system and plan remained remarkably constant. "The basic quadrangle is the 1:1,000,000 sheet spanning 4° latitude by 6° longitude. The quadrangles are identified by lettered bands north from the equator and by numbered zones east from longitude 180° [.] Each 1:1,000,000 sheet is subdivided into four 1:500,000 sheets (from northwest to southeast), labeled [by] the first four letters of the Russian alphabet [.] Each 1:1,000,000 sheet is [also] subdivided into 36 1:200,000 sheets in a six-by-six grid [. They] normally contain on the reverse side a detailed written description of the districts (towns, communications, topography, geology, hydrology, vegetation, and climate) together with a geological sketch map" (ibid., p. 19-21). "Printing such large-format plans in so many colors with near-perfect print registration itself testifies to the skill of the printers in the military map printing factories across the former Soviet Union. The quality of printing reflects the level of training and the reliability of humidity-control equipment and the electricity supply at the time" (ibid., p. 6f.). The 1:200,000-scale maps are specifically labelled "For Official Use". Although the general terrain evaluation maps and operational maps produced at the smaller scales of 1:1,000,000 and 1:500,000 were not separately marked as classified, all General Staff maps de facto constituted closely guarded military material, none of which became available in the West before the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s. - Light traces of folds; some very insignificant wrinkling in places, but altogether in excellent condition. - Cf. J. Davies / A. J. Kent, The Red Atlas (Chicago/London, 2017).
