A photograph showing a critical and secretive meeting between Ibn Sa'ud (centre) and the British representative Sir Gilbert Clayton (left), one of a pivotal series of negotiations which led to the Treaty of Jeddah in May 1927. Copies of this picture are rare in commerce. This image is from the archive of The Times, the copyright stamp of which is on the verso, alongside a second stamp reading "Referred - E. Dept. April 30th 1928 N.E.A." A typewritten draft of a bulletin has also been tipped to the verso, reading: "Discussions with Ibn Saud. Sir Gilbert Clayton left London on April 19. for Jeddah, where he will meet the king of the Hejaz and Nejd, and will discuss with him, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, various outstanding questions affecting the relations of the Kingdom of the Hejaz and Nejd with the neighbouring states of Iraq and Transjordan. He will have with him Mr. K. Cornwallis, Adviser to the Ministry of the Interior of the Iraq Government, Mr. G. Antonius, of the Palestine Service, and Flight Lt. G. M. Moore, of the Royal Air Force. Our picture shows Sir Gilbert Clayton (left) with Ibn Saud (centre) in Hedjaz". In 1924-5, during the conflict between the Hashemites and Ibn Sa'ud's army, Ibn Sa'ud led his forces into Transjordan, making the British fear for the stability of the region. The British government dispatched Clayton to hold talks with Ibn Sa'ud after the Saudi conquest of the Hijaz, to determine the northern borders of the new nation of Saudi Arabia. Clayton was accompanied by his translator George Habib Antonius, the famous Lebanese historian and thinker, who stands on the right in the image. The two men arrived in Jeddah while Ibn Sa'ud's forces were laying siege to it. Clayton and Antonius continued their negotiations with Ibn Sa'ud between 1925 and 1928. Discussions over the borders were protracted and complex, with the towns of Ma an and Kaf the object of particularly intense debate, due to British fears that the Saudis could extend their influence north to Syria if they controlled these regions. It was eventually resolved that Ma an would be in Transjordan and that Kaf would be in Saudi Arabia. During the First World War, Clayton was chief of the Arab Bureau in Cairo, working with T. E. Lawrence to foment the Arab Revolt. Lawrence praises Clayton in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, describing his influence as "creeping silently and insistently through everything".
