Description: [2] photographs.Two large photographs of King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1906-1975), during the later years of his reign (1964-1975). Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. His intelligence was already apparent from a young age and he was chosen to represent his father in international forums as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13, and became Saudi Arabia's first Minister of Foreign Affairs at the age of 25. He succeeded his half-brother as King of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler, until he was shot in 1975.The corners are slightly creased, with a small, vertical tear in the left margin of one of the photographs, not affecting the image. Otherwise in very good condition.
