In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. The confidential first edition dated March 1919, prepared for the British Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference (a second declassified edition made available to the public without the map appeared in 1920, retitled "Tanganyika (German East Africa)" and renumbered No. 113). Original… grey printed card wraps 14x22cm. vi, 117pp, complete with the colour folding map in a back pocket. Very good, lightly bumped and creased to the corners, tanned to the spine, blue crayon number to the front. Map spotted, neatly folded with short closed fold tears. Chapters describe physical and human geography, political history (starting with Portuguese influence through to Arab rule, British and German interests, and native opposition), social and political conditions, and economy, with Treaty extracts in the Appendices. No authors are indicated, but it was a collective effort, with the series edited by George Walter Prothero, Director of the Historical Section, which had been established purposely by the Foreign Office. Histories were voluntarily contributed by experts, geography by Naval Intelligence Division staff, and economics by the Foreign Office War Trade Intelligence Department. The map is by the Geographical Section General Staff of the War Office: "General Map of German East Africa", GSGS No. 2814, War Office, July 1916. 80x78cm, 1/2M, bounded by Lake Victoria (N), the Swahili coast from Lamu to Pekavi with Zanzibar about midway (E), the border with Portuguese East Africa (S), and Lake Tanganyika (W). Features include railways, roads (mostly fit for light wheeled traffic), important tracks and routes, marshes, mission stations, and international boundaries. This edition appears to be very rare, with Worldcat and Library Hub locating copies at the British Museum and British Library only (OCLC 558925343).

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Original British military topographical map of western Afghanistan, sheet size 48.2 × 63.1 cm, published within the Geographical Section, General Staff quarter-inch series at the scale of 1:253,440 or one inch to four miles. The underlying cartography is designated First Edition, 1941, but this pa…rticular physical impression was printed in 1949 in a stated run of only 1,000 copies. The sheet covers parts of the Farah and Herat Provinces close to the Iranian frontier, recording roads, tracks, caravan routes, settlements, camps, wells, springs, cultivated areas and extensive desert and mountain terrain, with relief printed in brown. It was compiled principally from North-West Frontier Sheet 12 S.E., First Edition, with additions to 1936 and other available sources. The 1949 printing belongs to a significant transitional period following the end of the Second World War and the independence of India and Pakistan, when Afghanistan remained strategically important between Iran, the Soviet sphere and the newly reorganised political geography of South Asia. Closely related Afghanistan mapping was subsequently reprinted by the U.S. Army Map Service; Western Michigan University preserves numerous AMS U511 sheets derived from earlier British G.S.G.S. and Survey of India cartography, including Farah-area mapping. The stated 1,000-copy print run gives this impression particular scarcity interest. Very good condition, retaining original folds, with light handling and creasing, minor age-related marking and some localised wear and short tearing to the right-hand margin; complete and strongly legible.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Colour printed paper map 74x58cm, with index map, keys and aeronautical data to the verso. Very good, neatly folded. This first GSGS edition dated 1953, was based on a USAF Pilotage Chart (1948, revised June 1952), with air information supplied by the Ministry of Defence as at Novembe…r 1952, and reproduced by the Ordnance Survey in an edition of 5,000 in July 1953 (5,000/7/53). Centred on Syria and northern Jordan, coverage is bounded by Beirut (NW), and the Syria-Iraq, Jordan-Iraq, and Jordan-Saudi borders (E, SE). The Haifa branch of the Iraq Petroleum Company Pipeline including its Pumping Stations runs across the lower section almost parallel with the Syria-Jordan border. A significant section of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline) which began operation in 1950 is also drawn. Altitude is colour shaded.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Large original British military strategic map measuring 76.1 × 103.6 cm, published by the Geographical Section, General Staff at the scale of 1:4,000,000. A visually impressive wartime map covering a vast area from the Balkans, Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean across Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Pa…lestine, Transjordan, Iraq and Iran to the Persian Gulf, and southwards into Egypt and Libya. Major centres including Cairo, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beirut, Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad, Basra, Tehran and Istanbul are shown, together with roads, railways, relief, hydrography and strongly emphasised international and administrative boundaries. The 1941 date is of particular significance, placing the map within a year in which British and Allied forces were engaged across the Western Desert, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and in the joint Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran, while the region's oilfields, ports and communications routes were of exceptional strategic importance. Institutional examples are recorded at Yale University Library and the National Library of Israel, while Cambridge University Library preserves an archival record for The Near and Middle East, 1940-1941. The map was also specifically listed among the cartographic materials supplied to the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, demonstrating its continued official relevance after the war. Very good condition, retaining original folds with light handling and creasing, minor marginal wear and slight age-related marking; complete, clean and particularly attractive in its blue, brown, green and purple printing.

Silk or rayon sheet 71x62cm, colour printed to both sides with adjacent aeronautical charts of Iraq and its neighbours from the Asia 1/1,000,000 series. Near fine, folded, with minor fraying at the edges. Coverage on the Basra side is bounded by Iraq's borders with Iran, Kuwait and the Saudi-Kuwai…ti Neutral Zone (E, with Basra at the eastern edge), the Saudi-Iraqi Neutral Zone (S), Sinjar (W), and Diwaniya (N). The Baghdad side extends northward from Diwaniya (S), bounded by Haditha (W), Kirkuk (N), and Kermanshah (E). First produced by the Geographical Section, General Staff (GSGS) for the War Office (in 1942 and 1928 respectively), both were reproduced by the Ordnance Survey in 1951 with lines of equal magnetic variation to June 1953. This dates them to Mohammed Mosadegh's rise to power in Iran, nationalisation of the oil industry and the resulting Abadan Crisis; the US-Saudi Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement; and accelerated development planning in Kuwait. Details include boundaries (international and regional including non-demarcated), several grades of settlement, important ruins, provinces, tribal names, mountains and hills, several grades of road and track, telegraph, oil pipelines with pumping stations, water features, water pipelines, contours, spot heights, post office, telegraph office, forts, churches, mosques, minarets, tombs, sand dunes, boulders, lava, marshes, etc.

This sheet, dating to the early years of the Egyptian Republic, was based on a USAF World Aeronautical Chart dated March 1953. Coverage is bounded by the Gilf Kebir Plateau (N)…, Selima Oasis (uninhabited) (SE), the Libyan / Anglo-Egyptian Sudan border (SW), and Jebels Uweinat and Arkenu (W). Altitude is shown by colour tinting. Geographical features are accompanied by numerous captions describing the terrain such as variations in sand and gravel, barchan dune formations, etc. The "Memorial monument" south of Gilf Kebir would be the Prince Kemal el-Din Monument, which Laszlo Almasy had built in 1934 for his late patron and friend (1874-1932) close to where he had discovered the Cave of Swimmers. Among the several criss-crossing tracks would be the Darb al Arbain (or 40 Days Road), identifiable by its stops at Laqiya Arbain, Selima Oasis (where it splits), and El Shab.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Good. Three colour (black, red and brown) printed paper map 51x67cm. Good, neatly folded, lightly tanned, with closed fold and intersection tears. Geographical Section General Staff (GSGS) No. 3919 compiled and published originally under the direction of the Surveyor General of India 1922, reprinted with cor…rections Calcutta July 1940, revised Calcutta October 1940, heliozincographed at the Survey of India Offices, Calcutta. This was issued in a period of growing anti-British tension that would culminate in the Coup and Anglo-Iraqi War (April-May 1941) that was being stoked up by the Italian Legation in Baghdad, supported by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini, who was living in exile there. This highly strategic area would soon be covered by the British to retake Baghdad. With Kut al Imara to the right of centre, coverage is bounded by Al Aziziya (NW), Jassan (NE), Afaq and Hajil (SW) on a scale of 1 inch to 4 miles. Details include administrative boundaries, several classes of road (distinguishing metalled and unmetalled, cart tracks, camel tracks or trade routes, mule paths, footpaths, and doubtful or unsurveyed routes) with notes in the image on suitability for Mechanised Transport (MT); railways; landing grounds; water wells and availability of water, oil wells, mines, springs, mosques, forts, watch towers, deserted villages, police posts, individually named plots, telephone lines and offices, the Tigris, wadis etc, with descriptive notes about terrain in the image (including several with dated water depth measurements taken during WW1).

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Good. Colour map, 1/3M or 47.35 miles to the inch, 97x62cm. Good, slightly unevenly folded, with some patches of staining, and small holes at intersections. Originally published in 1918, this includes revisions to boundaries and railways with minor corrections dated 1931. It was printed at the War Office in…1932, contemporary with pioneering explorations in the Libyan Desert. This is shown in some detail, including the Oases of Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Baharia, Siwa, Kufra, and smaller ones, dune fields by stippling. Of great interest are the numerous tracks, among them Darb el Arbain, Darb el Tawil, the Great Caravan Route to Wadai, Caravan Route to Kufra etc, as well as traces of an old route to passing through an uninhabited oasis with little water south of Kufra. G. Owenat (Jebel Uweinat) is marked at the very lower edge. Notes describe the extent of vegetation, incidence of water, and the nature of the desert surface (eg, stone or sand). Spot heights.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Good. 3rd Edition. Colour map 81x61cm, printed by 42 Survey Engineer Regiment (MELF No. 15383-5000/12/57). Good, slightly imperfectly folded, and creased along the edges especially. This covers part of the Sultanate of Lahej in the Aden Protectorate, with its capital in the SE corner. Dated December 1957, th…is was the 3rd edition to be issued in the same year (the others in Feb and June). At this time, the British feared that the Arab nationalist Sultan Ali bin Abdal Karim al Abdali would refuse to join the Federation of Emirates of South Arabia (a British brokered arrangement that would last from 1959-62), and would depose him in 1958. Features include international boundaries (demarcated or undefined), regional boundaries, the dispositions of numerous tribes, towns and villages of varying importance, roads, tracks, pases, wells, wadis (perennial or seasonal), shrines, tombs, fors, ruins, airports, airfields, landing grounds, etc. There is also an English-Arabic Glossary, Key to Pronunciation, and technical notes.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. St Helena. G.S.G.S. No. 1853A. Second Edition dated 1941. Ordnance Survey printing of 500 copies, 1959. Large colour-printed British government topographical map of the entire island of St Helena, measuring 64.2 × 88.7 cm and produced at the highly detailed scale of 1:25,344 or 2½ inc…hes to one statute mile. Originally published by the War Office in 1904, the sheet carries the designation Second Edition, 1941, while the printer's information on this particular example records an Ordnance Survey printing in 1959 in a stated run of only 500 copies; it is therefore correctly described as a 1959 printing of the Second Edition dated 1941 rather than as a physical 1941 printing. The map gives exceptionally detailed complete-island coverage, including Jamestown, James Bay, Longwood, Ladder Hill, Deadwood, Sandy Bay, Plantation House, Prosperous Bay and Rupert's Valley, together with roads, tracks, settlements, buildings, watercourses, coastal features and the island's dramatic mountainous relief. The 1941 edition date gives the cartography an important Second World War association: St Helena maintained military defences and supported British naval and communications activity in the South Atlantic, while in October 1941 the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker RFA Darkdale was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-68 in James Bay. The present impression itself was printed later, in 1959, and no claim is made for wartime use. St Helena is also internationally famous as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's final exile from 1815 until his death in 1821 and occupies an important place in British imperial and maritime history. An example of G.S.G.S. 1853A, Second Edition, is recorded in the former Foreign & Commonwealth Office archive inventory with the date 1941, although the inventory does not identify the impression date of that particular copy. At the time of cataloguing we have been unable to trace another clearly identified example of this 1959 printing of 500 copies currently offered commercially. Very good condition, complete, with strong printed detail and attractive colour, light handling, minor creasing and slight marginal marking.

Large original colour-printed military map, measuring 86.2 × 64 cm, titled Aden and formally designated 1:1,000,000 Asia Sheet North D-38 Aden, Fourth Edition, with air information, drawn, compiled and reproduced by 512 Field Survey Company, Royal Engineers, in July 1945. Covering south-western Ar…abia and the western Gulf of Aden, the map extends across Yemen, the Western and Eastern Aden Protectorates, the Hadhramaut, the French Somaliland coast and the Bab-el-Mandeb, with Aden, Little Aden, Khormaksar, Sheikh Othman, Perim Island, Taiz, Mocha, Hodeida, Djibouti and extensive inland tribal and administrative territories shown in considerable detail. Roads, tracks, settlements, communications, rivers, wells, relief, territorial boundaries and coastal features are supplemented by a conspicuous red military aeronautical overprint identifying airfields, landing grounds, abandoned or unconfirmed facilities, seaplane stations and restricted flying areas, the air information having been supplied by Headquarters, Royal Air Force, Middle East, in June 1945. The compilation statement records the use of East African survey material, 1943 trimetrogon aerial photography, AAF Aero Chart No. 687, the third-edition GSGS Aden sheet and communications intelligence. An unusually informative late-war operational map of a strategically crucial region commanding the southern entrance to the Red Sea and the maritime route through the Suez Canal. Original folding issue, not laid down. In very good condition for a working military map, with the original folds, moderate age-toning, scattered light foxing and surface marking, minor fold wear and short marginal or splits; the colour and printed detail remain strong and the map is substantially complete and highly presentable. Institutional reference: The Charles Hepworth Collection at the Middle East Centre Archive, St Antony's College, Oxford, records a 1945 Fourth Edition of North D-38 Aden, produced by 512 Field Survey Company, Royal Engineers. The catalogue entry does not state whether that example carries the additional "With Air Information" aeronautical overprint found on the present sheet, so it cannot presently be confirmed as the same state or issue.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Anglo-Iraqi War map, published during final preparations to advance on Baghdad. Colour printed on linen-backed paper 64x85cm. Very good, neatly folded. Compiled by the War Office 1937, published by them 1938, printed by 512 (A Forward Survey) Company, Royal Engineers, May 1941, and reprinted with…complete footnotes dated Edition of 26 May 1941. Coverage is bounded by Baghdad and its environs (NW), the border with Iran (NE), and Nasiriya (SE), showing the courses of the Tigris and Euphrates. Other major settlements include Kut, Hilla, Najaf, Kufa, and Karbala. Details include international boundaries, railways and stations, camel caravan and motor routes, telegraph and post stations, watch towers, forts, mosques, police posts, ancient sites (Babylon, Ur, Arch of Ctesiphon, canals etc), bridges across barrages, ruined bridges, etc; extensive topographical features with unsurveyed areas marked, and descriptions in the image (eg, bushes 2' to 3' high); and air information including aerodromes, landing grounds, signals etc. Iraq was at this time ruled by Rashid Al-Gaylani, who in April deposed Prince Abd Al-Ilah in an Axis-backed coup, and laid siege to the major British imperial base at RAF Habbaniya west of Baghdad. With Churchill endorsing "all necessary force" the British hastily assembled a major expeditionary force from the Indian Army, Arab Legion, Assyrian Levies, and Iraqi loyalists, with leadership transferred to General Archibald Wavell (C-in-C Middle East Command) and Lieutenant-General Edward Quinan (commanding Iraqforce). It protected AIOC installations, secured Habbaniya on 18 May, then Fallujah on 23 May as a preliminary to the march on Baghdad. On 23 May Wavell flew to Basra to review reinforcements and instruct Quinan to prepare the advance on Baghdad. This map was produced the day before the advance from Basra began. On 27 May the 20th and 21st Indian Infantry (named the "Euphrates" and "Tigris Brigades") set off up each river by boat and road under Operations Regulta and Regatta, the latter via Kut. Progress was hampered by floods and destroyed bridges. Meanwhile a small RAF-backed ground force led by Major General Clark advanced from Habbaniya, prompting Al-Gaylani to flee to Persia with the Grand Mufti on 29 May. Abd Al-Ilah was reinstated on 1 June. This looks to be very rare, with Worldcat recording 1 location for the 1st edition 1938 (OCLC 756234518: Dresden University).

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. One map complete in 2 sheets. Very good, neatly folded with dusting to the versos and small closed fold and intersection tears. Each sheet measures 104x77cm, printed in 3 colours with brown for contours, blue for water, black for transport links, with titles and labels in English and Arabic. Surve…yed at the War Office 1931 from air photos by No14(B) Squadron RAF Ground Control under the direction of Major R.L. Brown, Royal Engineers. Drawn at the War Office 1932 and printed 1933 (1400/40). Heliographed at the OS 1933. Focusing on the Jordan River and its major tributaries, it may have been drawn to show the economic and strategic importance of Trans-Jordan's water resources to Mandatory Palestine's plans for agricultural development, power generation, and related Zionist settlement. The combined area is bounded to the north by the Jordan River from its outflow at Lake Tiberias (NW) inland to Ain et Turab (NE), and to the south by the Zarqa River (Nahr ez Zerka) inland as far as Jerash. Features include roads and tracks distinguishing those fit for Mechanical Transport, actual or proposed railways, trig stations, swamps, springs, telegraph, telephone, and police posts. The upper part of the Valley shows the development of Moshavot and Kibbutzim including Deganiye (Degania Alef), Umm Juniye ("Jewish"), Umm Junieh ("Persian"), Kinnereth ("Co-op"), Menahamiya, etc. The Rutenberg Power Station labelled close to the confluence of the Yarmouk River was nearing completion in the year of the RAF survey, and it began supplying Palestine in 1932. This major project was part of a significant concession Mandatory Palestine granted to Pinhas Rutenberg via his Palestine Electric Company. It involved several new hydro-electric power projects with others at Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Tiberias, which eventually supplied all of Palestine. Close by is a Police Station, and the Jezreel Valley Railway running south from Samakh as part of the Haifa to Dera'a branch of the Hejaz Railway. Rare with Worldcat and Library Hub locating 7 copies between them (Oxford, Cambridge, BL, NERC, NLS, LoC, National Library of Australia).

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Large original British War Office military map of Johore and Singapore, Geographical Section, General Staff No. 4305, First Edition, published by the War Office in 1942 and subsequently referenced as HIND 1077. Approximately 1:253,440 scale, or one inch to four miles, and measuring a subst…antial 112.2 × 84.7 cm. The sheet covers southern Malaya from the Straits of Malacca eastwards to the South China Sea, including Johore Bahru, the Johore Strait, Singapore and the principal road, rail and communications network approaching the island. Its date and geographical coverage give the map exceptional historical resonance: Japanese forces advanced through Malaya during December 1941 and January 1942, the remaining British and Commonwealth troops withdrew across the Johore-Singapore Causeway on 31 January, Japanese forces crossed the Johore Strait on 8 February and Singapore surrendered on 15 February 1942. The map states that portions were compiled from F.M.S. Surveys mapping dated November 1941, placing its underlying cartography immediately before the campaign. Printed with extensive reference information, Malay topographical glossary, grid and magnetic data. Particularly interesting are manuscript working annotations including a large blue-pencil rectangle marked "CLOUD FLYING AREA" on the eastern portion of the sheet and various additional pencil and navigational markings; no specific military provenance is claimed for these annotations. Good condition for a large wartime working map, with numerous original folds, creasing, age-toning, marking, rubbing and localised wear, including some wear at fold intersections and lower central area; substantially complete and highly presentable. An imposing and historically important Second World War map directly associated by geography and date with the Malayan Campaign and Fall of Singapore.Scarce. WorldCat records institutional holdings at the British Library and only three further locations located at the time of cataloguing. We have been unable to trace another example of G.S.G.S. 4305, Johore and Singapore, First Edition 1942 currently offered for sale. Institutional references include the National Archives of Singapore, while the official GSGS index records the sheet as no. 4305 at 1:253,440.
