No Binding. Zustand: Good. B/w chart with some hand colouring, printed on heavy paper 72x121cm. Very good with short closed tear to edge, soiled to the blank verso. First edition published on 15 Aug 1927, with small corrections up to 1930. The main map, natural scale 1/30,000, shows Jeddah's position along the coast, which is covered from Ruba t'Ashara in the north to the "low featureless" country south of Jezirat Ghorab to the south, and the complexities of the approach to it by sea. Both this and the large Inner Anchorage inset map, 1/12,500, show the town of Jeddah itself as it would have appeared at the start of Ibn Saud's reign, with a remarkable degree of detail. This includes the old city wall with its gates marked, among which the Medina, Mecca and Cherif Gates are named on the landward sides, and the Main and Small Gates on the coastal side. Major buildings labelled include several Consulates (Persian, Egyptian, British, French, Russian, Austrian, Dutch); the Governor's House; Customs House; Landing; Quarantine; Barracks; Police Station; Post Office; Telephone Office; Prison; and the Minarets of various mosques (Senussi, Mahmud, Hanafe, and Pacha). Also labelled is Holt's Agency (Alfred Holt & Co, aka Blue Funnel or Ocean Steam Ship), which ran a lucrative business transporting Malay and Indonesian pilgrims. Outside of the city walls north of the Medina Gate are Eve's Tomb or Ummina Hawwa with a small diagram showing its configuration, the tomb of Marabout Sheikh Fadah, a cemetery, and the old Ottoman barracks (Kishla). Outside the walls to the south are the tomb of Marabout Shiekh Bulyon, a Government mill, and the Christian burial ground.…
