1926), Charles Montagu Doughty (1843-1926), and Captain William Shakespear (1878-1915). As indicated by the stamp at bottom right, the map accompanied a journal article by Douglas Carruthers, "Captain Shakespear's Last Journey," published in Geographical Journal in May 1922. The pilgrimage routes to Mecca from Syria and Egypt are clearly shown. Significant human features, such as ancient ruins or contemporary oil fields, are absent. The international frontier between Iran and Iraq is boldly drawn, but it is the only such boundary shown, perhaps because the internal borders of the Arabian Desert were still under negotiation between the British and the tribal leaders of Kuwait, southern Iraq, and Nejd (or Najd) in present-day Saudi Arabia. The two-page map lacks a legend. Distance scales are given in both kilometers and miles. Relief is shown by contour lines and hacheurs. The predominant color is drab beige conforming to the hue of the landscape itself.
