FURLONGE, Sir Geoffrey Warren, and Qadi al-AMRI.

Exchange of notes regarding relations between the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the government of the Yemen.London, Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1951. With a woodcut British Royal arms on the title-page. In a blue paper wrapper with a clear plastic front.

8 pp.Bilateral treaty between the United Kingdom and the government of His Majesty the King of Yemen, presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The negotiations between the governments commenced on 29 August 1950 and ended on 12 October 1950. Some of the terms agreed are: the establishment of diplomatic representation according to normal practice, the settling of incidents and disputes with bordering areas of Yemen, the undertaking of appropriate measures to subdue any propaganda against either government, and more. The main text (with ten numbered points) is signed at the end with the initials of ambassador Sir Geoffrey Warren Furlonge, the UK’s acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the shorter note that follows by “Alkadi” (Qadi) al-Amri, acting Foreign Minister of Yemem. The texts are repeated in Arabic (set in a small Naskh type) before the closing statements.After taking the crown in 1948 Imam Ahmad opened North Yemen to the rest of the world in the 1950s and entered into treaties with many countries. Great Britain had a large hand in the region at that time, controlling South Yemen as the Aden Protectorate, which makes this treaty one of great importance. Today North and South Yemen form the Republic of Yemen.In very good condition. With the date "8 AUG 1952" stamped at the head of the title-page.

The business was taken over by the Company of London Insurers in 1710 and formally constituted as a partnership known as the Sun Fire Office.

RAGHEB-BIN-RAFIQ, Muhammed & Bernard Rawdon REILLY.

Treaty of friendship and mutual co-operation between His Majesty in respect of the United Kingdom and of India and the king of the Yemen (with exchange of notes). London, Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1934. With a woodcut British Royal arms on the title-page.In a blue paper wrapper.

5, [1] pp.A very important treaty in the history of British imperialism, which show the pragmatic approach of the British in Arabia by signing this treaty, and also in the history of Arabia and Yemen. This treaty probably may have helped perticipate the war between Ibn Saud and the Imam. The Imam felt captured between two parties: the Saudis in the north and the British in the south. He neutralised his relationship with the British by this treaty of friendship and co-operation and although the negotations for this treaty took very long (from 1919 on), the result of the treaty was a temporarily calming down of events. The history shows that the major conflict between the Saudis and Yemenis became, however, inevitable. Neverwithstanding this is a very important artefact in the history of Britain, Saudi-Arabia and Yemen. This copy only contains the English text, but originally this treaty was published in a bilingual edition, the English and Arab text alternating.In very good condition.
