Map Description
Old map of Iran, Islamic Republic of, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Syrian Arab Republic.
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.
Created by Douglas Carruthers, Great Britain. War Office. General Staff. Geographical Section, Royal Geographical Society (Great Britain) in 1922.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
