Item description from seller

A collection of thirteen press photographs from the 1930s, showing Saudi Arabian leaders during diplomatic visits to Europe. The beautifully sharp and clear photographs give a good impressions of what these events must have been like at the time. Most of the photographs come with the text that would have accompanied them when they were published in a newspaper, and are stamped on the back by the press agency that had the rights for publication. We have not been able to find any of these photographs in online archives.Four of the images show Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1906-1975), during a diplomatic visit to Great Britain. Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Faisal was very intelligent and was given numerous important duties as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13, and achieved his first military successes when he was 16. He succeeded his half brother as king of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler. The present photographs, however, show his visit to Great Britain in 1939. In particular his visit to the Royal Air Force stations in Middlesex and Northolt, where he viewed the Hawker Hurricane planes, which he considered to buy for the Royal Saudi Air Force. After his return, however, he decided against it.The other photographs show Fuad Bey Hamza (1899-1951), the Saudi ambassador in France, and Fakry Pacha (dates unknown), the Egyptian ambassador in France, during an Eid al-Fitr celebration in Paris in 1939, a portrait of Sheikh Sir Abdullah al-Salim al-Sabah (1895-1965), the 11th ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait, and the Kaaba in Mecca during hajj.Some of the photographs are slightly discoloured, or creased around the corners. Mostly in very good condition. Kept in a brown kraft paper envelope. With 13 gelatin silver prints (various sizes). Pages: [13] photographs.
