Second edition, first impression, inscribed by the author on the title page, "With every good wish always, H. R. P. Dickson, 24 Feb 1954"; and signed at the same time by Violet Dickson, his fellow Arabist and wife. First published in 1949, The Arab of the Desert was described by Freya Stark as "indispensable to all who wish to travel or live with some knowledge in the region". Harry St John Philby likewise opined that "a book would be needed to do full justice to the contents of this immense and valuable labour of love, which is admirably illustrated by some excellent photographs and many first-class drawings and coloured plates. These, with the plans, sketches and maps in the cover pocket, will repay careful study" (p. 233). Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Dickson (1881-1959) was raised in Damascus where his father was the British consul. A British political agent in Bahrain (1919-20) and Kuwait (1929-36), he subsequently worked for the Kuwait Oil Company. Following his death, Violet (1896-1991) remained in Kuwait until the Iraqi invasion in 1990, becoming a prominent member of the expatriate community. For this work, she contributed research on flora and fauna, foreshadowing the publication of her The Wild Flowers of Kuwait and Bahrain (1955). In 1960, she was awarded the Lawrence of Arabia Memorial Medal by the Royal Society for Asian Affairs for her work among the Bedouin women of Arabia. This copy was inscribed against a backdrop of increasing regional tensions in the Middle East, including over Britain's policy towards Kuwait. In late February 1954, Foreign Office telegrams noted concern in the Egyptian press over what one state-controlled newspaper deemed a "British conspiracy to separate Kuwait from the Arab bloc" (Arabian Gulf Digital Archives). Half a year later, the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement initiated Britain's gradual withdrawal from the Suez Canal Zone. Macro 840. Freya Stark, "A Document of the Desert", The Observer, 22 January 1950; Harry St John Bridger Philby, "An Encyclopaedia of the Desert Arab", Geographical Journal, vol. 115, no. 4/6, 1950. Octavo. Original orange cloth, spine lettered in gilt on red ground, top edge light red. Half-tone portrait frontispiece, 51 other plates (9 coloured), 8 folding maps and 6 folding genealogies in end band, numerous diagrams and illustrations in text. Spine sunned, extremities lightly rubbed, plates, maps, and genealogies clean and still fresh. A very good copy.

FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). pp.648. Presentation copy inscribed by the author and with a long AUTOGRAPH LETTER to the book's recipient Clark Cypher, Aramco's representative in Jeddah, tucked inside. Title-page printed in red and black. Publisher's original orange cloth, spine lettered in gilt on red ground, top edge dyed light red. Half-tone portrait frontispiece, 51 other plates (9 coloured), 9 maps (on 7 sheets) and 6 folding genealogies loose as issued in end band, numerous diagrams and illustrations in text. Lightly rubbed, contents clean, an excellent association copy. Warmly inscribed on the front endpaper, "To my friend Clark Cypher, H.R.P Dickson, 20.4.50". Tucked inside is a substantial hand-written letter from Dickson to Cypher on one single sheet of paper headed "Kuwait, Persian Gulf" and dated 20.5.50. In the letter Dickson covers much ground. In the main body he thanks Cypher for a note sent on the 29th of April and describes his "great pleasure putting my signature to the 'Arab of the Desert'"; he acknowledges the book's "all too many printers errors and other shortcomings and omissions" which he is currently seeking to remedy for future editions (which he explains will have "several more matters of interest and other material which has been left out, also maps"); he mentions that sales of the book are going well, with 100 new copies having just been bound. He then changes to a more personal tone and describes how he and his wife Violet (herself an accomplished Arabist and botanist) will "visit the Lebanon early in August and shall spend a few days in Beirut and Tripoli before going into Chtaura our old haunt", and expresses his desire to see Cypher and his wife in Beirut, inviting him to "pay us a visit at Masabkis Hotel". There are 3 postscripts. The first simple remarks that a "Mrs. MacPharson is back from Beirut. We feel lost when she is away". The second explains how Dickson and his wife recently visited Dharan, where they were "honored by being allowed to look over Taplines remarkable work across Arabia. The Currans put us up at Badanah and motored us to where the pipes were being laid down. The Currans were kindness personified. My wife collected many flowers in Wadi Ar-Ar, which will go to London in due course". The third is the most remarkable and is reproduced in full: "The way your Company looks after the interest of the Badu, in particular the way it provides them with water, troughs Etc., everywhere wins my complete admiration. The whole Badawin world talks about this. The Company will never regret this 100% insurance for winning the Desert mans good will. It is grand to see it all. You have got some big men indeed behind this gigantic undertaking". Given the totemic place of Aramco in Saudi Arabia's history and development it is hard to overstate the resonance which these lines carry. Inscribed copies of the first edition are extremely scarce. We can trace just one other copy in the auction records which fetched £2,772 at Sothebys in 2021. The recipient of this copy being a Miss D.M. Lawrence, about whom we could find no further information. Some light trivial shelfwear, generally an excellent copy. Colonel Dickson (1881-1959) was born in Beirut and moved as a baby with his family to Damascus where his father was British Consul. As an infant he was foster-mothered by a Badawin (Bedouin) woman of the desert, and thus became a blood-brother of her tribe, the important and aristocratic 'Anizah. Dickson himself became a British administrator in the Middle East from the 1920s until the 1940s. "Colonel Dickson joins the very remarkable group of English men and women who have interpreted the magic of far Arabia - Burton, Doughty, Lawrence, Bertram Thomas, St. John Philby, Gertrude Bell, Freya Stark" (publisher's blurb). St John Philby in his review of this book stated "There are few Europeans, if indeed any, who know the Arab as well as Dickson. [an] immense and valuable labour of love, which i.
