No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Colour printed folding paper map 72x56cm. About very good, neatly folded with ms reference number to the right-hand border and verso. Compiled in 1952 by AMS from Forces Francaises du Levant sheets (dated 1945), and printed by AMS in January 1957 (1-57). The Yazidi district of Sinjar in northern Iraq is shown in the lower right quadrant, bounded by the Syrian border. An "Approximate Police Jurisdiction" line runs across its centre, which may relate to the crushing of the Yazidi revolt in 1935 and imposition of military control, which was reimposed and extended in 1939. The rest of the sheet features Syria as far as Sharabin in the east. Details include settlements of different sizes, different grades of road and rail, and extensive geographical features. Around the margins are reliability and location diagrams, legend, scales, glossary, and other data, metadata and instructions. Rare.
