About this item

Content

This map depicts the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. It shows prospective lines for the eastern boundary of Saudi Arabia in crayon and pencil. The line drawn in blue crayon represents the 'blue line' (the frontier which marked the Ottoman Government's renunciation of its claims to Bahrain and Qatar, laid down in the non-ratified Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913 and redefined and adopted in the Anglo-Ottoman Convention of the following year). The faint green line marks the 'present offer' made by the British Government; a second green line and further lines drawn in pencil represent other considered boundary lines. A line drawn in red crayon is marked as Ibn Saud's [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd] claim for the Saudi Arabia-Qatar boundary.
