A scarce magnificent large scale view of Afghanistan and its neighbours (Iran, Russia, China and India) from the turn of the 19th century. This remarkable piece shows Afghanistan in relation to its neighbors, each represented by a massive stupa. Afghanistan is in the center, Iran (Persia) is placed above, the Russian Empire in Turkestan is to the right, China is below, and the British Empire in India is to the left. Afghanistan itself is bounded by a dotted-line border, with a few dotted lines possibly indicating internal boundaries, a major river (the Oxus?) running east-west, and a few roads connecting fortresses. There is extensive text in Persian and numerous vignettes of fortresses, villages and rural scenes.The work was produced at the behest of Abdur Rahman Khan, Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901, probably within weeks of his death in October 1901. The Emir was a capable ruler, politically deft yet capable of extreme brutality, and he reestablished the authority of the central government after years of civil war and the British defeat of his successor Sher Ali Khan in the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Over his two-decade rule he suppressed a number of tribal rebellions while maintaining a strategic balance in his country?s dealings with the Russian Empire and the British in India.Despite its seemingly international scope, the text shows that it was made for domestic consumption, in particular by tribal leaders and officers in the Emir?s large military establishment. The intent was to preempt threats to the Khan?s authority and maintain social order by arguing that both are a reflection of God?s will:?At this time I have prepared a map of your state and the states to your four corners for you so you can see and appreciate and perceive your own good and the way that leads to the best both in the affairs of faith and those of the world. If you good people are aware, the map written for you here will suffice in the affairs of faith and those of the world. The explanation of this map is that everyone is endowed by God according to their status and merit and their primordial lot predetermined for them by God, and He inspired the king to assign each of you a status of commandership and other military statuses and you are assigned and appointed that status with dignity. So you have to thank God and thank your king, and be grateful of your status right where you are, and regard not your above, but behold what is below you to see so many people who have lower ranks.?The pictorial content is designed to reinforce the profoundly hierarchical message of the text, and to this end the imagery is largely symbolic: Each of the five countries depicted is dominated by a large stupa featuring a king or emperor at the summit, flanked by what are presumably his ministers, with military officers and soldiers arrayed on the steps below them in descending rank. Surrounding each stupa are images of the lowest order of all, namely the peasantry engaged in agricultural activities., Image Size : 1348x1475 (mm), 53.07x58.07 (Inches), Platemark Size : , Paper Size : 1374x1615 (mm), 54.09x63.58 (Inches), Hand Colored, Lithograph Very Good, laid on acid free canvas for long term preservation.

A very scarce wall map of Bahrain published jointly by the Royal Geographical Society and the Bahrain Petroleum Company. The map depicts roads, tracks, buildings, cultivated areas, marshland and the Bahrain Refinery. Major cities as Awali, Manama Town and Muharraq Town are shown in detail. The map has three large insets of Muharraq, Awali and Manama.Bahrain, small Arab state situated in a bay on the southwestern coast of the Persian Gulf. It is an archipelago consisting of Bahrain Island and some 30 smaller islands. Its name is from the Arabic term al-ba?rayn, meaning ?two seas.? The economy has long relied on processing crude oil from neighbouring countries, and more recently the financial, commercial services, and communications sectors have grown markedly, as has tourism.Britain?s decision to withdraw all of its forces from the gulf in 1968 led Bahrain?s independence in August 1971. A treaty of friendship was signed with the United Kingdom, terminating Bahrain?s status as a British protectorate., Size : 925x655 (mm), 36.42x25.79 (Inches), Hand Colored Very Good, mounted on contemporary linen.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
Four pages, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on aged paper, with small pinholes to both leaves and slight loss at the head of the second. Substantial first part of long letter, and hence lacking the signature. BBTI has Trelawny [for Trelawney] William Saunders at 6 Charing Cross between 1846 and 1853, and Edward Stanford's entry in the Oxford DNB records that he was an apprentice there, returning as partner in 1852 ('The partnership was dissolved by mutual consent in July 1853.'), and that it was Saunders who proposed Stanford for membership of the Royal Geographical Society. A good association and a scarce example of Saunders' handwriting, which has been verified by comparison with a specimen (which will be included with the item) in the Royal Geographical Society archives. Saunders begins by expressing his 'unfeigned respect' for Mangles' 'firm & unconquerable efforts towards the production of so grand & entire a work as "The Illustrated Geography & Hydrography," of which I have received prospectuses from the Geographic[a]l. Society on Wednesday'. (Mangles published a 'Synopsis' with London publisher John Bumpus in 1848, but there is no record that the work itself was ever published.) Saunders hopes he will not be thought 'presumptuous', or acting 'from interested motives', when he states that he has 'read through all your prospectuses with avidity & am now anxious to learn something more of your fine work, and as there is no publication name mentioned, nor any other person referred to for enquiries, I have taken the liberty of addressing you directly'. He hopes Mangles will admit, on reading the enclosed 'short address', that Saunders is also 'employing the humble capacity in which providence has placed me, to promote the study of Geography'. The prospectus of Saunders' unidentified work 'has only been printed a few days', but he has 'already obtained such support, as encourages me to persevere in the plan I have laid down'. He hopes before long that there will be 'a depot in this great centre of geographic enterprise where the maps of & from all countries y be readily obtained. The pursuit of a science which requires an accumulation of materials for its successful development must be dilatory, while the means of supplying & procuring such material is confined to private societies, or scattered amongst innumerable establishments, each having a conflicting interest.' He praises Mangles' 'unique work', which he will promote, in the hope that 'the addition of my name to the splendid "Physical Atlas" [by Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-1871)] of which i enclose a prospectus, will be esteemed as one mark in my favour.' As he does not want to allow 'feelings of restraint' to curb him in communicating with Mangles on the subject, he is glad his 'person is unknown to me, inasmuch as a previous connection in our respecti positions in society would no doubt have imbued me with an idea of distance, the chains of which would now gall me excessively.' Before the letter breaks off, Saunders discusses Mangles' intention 'to divide the whole globe into sections, just like England is divided in the maps of the Ordnance Survey, with the addition of Hydrographic detail along the shores & at sea, & both variations in scale suited to the peculiar exigencies of this undertaking'. He is not sure from the prospectus whether 'you contemplate this happy continuity & oneness of plan, though I doubt not such is your intention'. The letter ends abruptly at the foot of the fourth page, with the incomplete sentence: 'Is it not possible to describe the Hydrographic portion in continuance of the Geographic, so as to avoid '. Note: None of his letters listed on the NRA, but A2A records correspondence [as "Trelawny", confusingly] at the RGS, and has other material illustrating Saunders' importance in the history of map-making and exploration, contributions ranging from "Saunders' official map of the Australian Gold Country" to the map in "Stray leaves from an Arctic journal, or, Eighteen months in the polar regions : in search of Sir John Franklin's expedition, in the years 1850-51 / by Sherard Osborn".
