Title: Arabia. Thesiger 1946 Tihama, Asir & Hijaz Mountains journey. RGS 1948 old map

Description: Arabia. A Journey Through the Tihama, the 'Asir & the Hijaz Mountains in 1946 by W. Thesiger'. This large, detailed map accompanies Wilfred Thesiger’s 1946 expedition through the tribal regions of western Arabia—then largely closed to Europeans. It records tribal territories and terrain in the early years of the Saudi state. Later recorded in his book "Arabian Sands", Thesiger regarded this traverse as one of his hardest, travelling among the Zahran, Shahran and Qahtan tribes at a moment of rapid cultural change. Thesiger was also known as Mubarak bin Landan (The blessed one of London) . Royal Geographical Society / Wilfred Thesiger. Published April 1948. Antique Royal Geographical Society map with related text pages. Size 53 x 39 cm | 20.5 x 15.0 inches. Condition: Good; suitable for framing. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. This is a folding map. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain. Tags: 1948, Map, Royal Geographical Society, Saudi Arabia, The Geographical Journal
