About this item

Content

Map depicting the eastern Arabian Peninsula. The map, which was prepared in anticipation of frontier negotiations with the Saudi Arabian Government, shows possible lines for the south-eastern Saudi Arabian border, as proposed by the Foreign Office.

A blue line, drawn in blue crayon and descending from slightly west of Qatar, represents the 'blue line', a boundary line agreed between the British Government and the Ottoman Empire in the Anglo-Ottoman Convention (1913). A second blue line further to the east represents one possible boundary. A third line, drawn in red crayon, shows another possible concession; this line includes a portion of a larger 'desert zone'.
