A large and detailed pictorial map, showing all of Iraq and its borders with neighbouring countries. Includes Kuwait and the Iraq-Saudi Neutral Zone (formed in 1922 and divided in 1981), and the recently completed oil pipeline from Kirkuk, crossing the border into Jordan. Interestingly, Kuwait has been labelled as within the Basra Gulf, following the Turkish naming convention and potentially hinting at the designs the Iraqi state had towards Kuwait. - Folded in original wrappers, 21:17,5 cm.
