Raunkiær travelled to Rihadh in 1912 at the behest of the Royal Danish Geographical Society, with the object of examining the possibility of a second expedition that would rival that of Niebuhr. The journey was fraught with danger and the local tribes received him with extreme hostility. This is the rare first edition in Danish covering the research trip by the Royal Danish Geographical Society in East and Central Arabia in 1912. The author was a leading Danish explorer of the time and he left Copenhagen in 1911 and travelled through Kuwait via Istanbul and Baghdad and then onto Riyadh and the Persian Gulf visiting Bahrain on the way.

First edition; 8vo, (22 x 15 cm), 304pp., frontispiece, numerous illustrations in the text, large folding map in rear pocket, small library stamp to endpapers; publisher's green cloth gilt; overall a very good copy.
