Item description from seller

Original printed brown cloth quarter bound with brown leatherette 22x35cm. (2)pp title page and contents, 10pp text, complete with 2 very large folding tables (66x53cm, 270x32cm). Former African Society / International African Institute copy with ink stamps within. Covers good, marked to the boards, rubbed to the corners and spine with a little loss. Interiors good, lightly creased and tanned. Tables neatly folded with some short closed tears and the bottom left panel of the first slightly trimmed to the edge to allow it to unfold from the tight binding (not affecting text). William Harold Ingrams was at this time Assistant Secretary to the Zanzibar Government. Collating and correcting all existing sources, he presents a Chronological Table showing the Rulers of Zanzibar from c700BC to 1911 (first folding table with historical remarks); Genealogies of local rulers of Zanzibar and Pemba (2pp including biographical notes); Genealogical Table of the Royal Family (Aulad Imam) of the Albu Said Dynasty of Zanzibar and Oman (2nd folding table with 5pp biographical notes and an Addendum referencing Princess Salme's book); and Table of Precedence of Members of the Aulad Imam in Zanzibar (1pp). Ingrams was assisted by the British Resident AC Hollis. HH the Sultan approved the Table of Precedence, and the Tree declaring it "as complete as it can ever be" (Preface). Among numerous works cited in his Bibliography are the Genealogies of the Albusaid compiled by the Sultan, Major FB Pearce, and Lt-Col P. Rigby, in the year the Sultanate was divided between the sons of Seyyid Said into Zanzibar and Oman (1861). Quite scarce institutionally, with around 24 locations on Worldcat and Library Hub.…
