Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Text in English. 128 pp. Fraying on the dust jacket edges. Minor scuffing and dents to the dust jacket, with small tear near the spine. The Emirates by the First Photographers, covers the period between 1900 and 1962, which saw the Emirates emergence from independent shaikhdoms to unification as the United Arab Emirates and the arrival of oil wealth. It is an extraordinary visual record of a crucial time before the old way of life was swept away. It draws on all the known photographic collections from the time of the first traveller-photographers. Photographers represented include Vaughan and A.T. Wilson in the 1920s, Hay in the 1930s, and Thesiger and Codrai in the 1940s and I950s. Sources include such institutions as the Royal Geographical Society, the Middle East Centre at St Antony's College, Oxford, and the National aritime Museum. Company archives include the British Airways Archive, the BP Archive at Warwick University and those of other oil companies. The chief aim is to record the immemorial way of life, now all but entirely vanished These remarkable pictures are accompanied by a text setting them in their historical context. This skilled assembly of outstanding early photographs, some never previously published, and several more lost to sight for decades, makes this the first general work of its kind devoted to the Emirates and an unparalleled resource for the historian.
