Part of Assouline’s special series, The Ultimate Collection, which is an homage to the art of luxury bookmaking. Books in the collection are hand-bound using traditional techniques, with color plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper; each page of this limited-edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline’s Ultimate Collection.

Abu Dhabi Before 1971 is a rare and compelling visual record of an emirate on the cusp of profound transformation. Featuring extraordinary vintage photography, the book captures everyday life in Abu Dhabi before unification, before the discovery of oil reshaped its destiny, and before modernity accelerated at breathtaking speed. These images—many seldom seen—offer an intimate window into a world defined by resilience, community, tradition, and an enduring relationship with land and sea.

With a foreword written by His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the State, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and a deeply insightful and elegantly crafted text by Jonathan Gornall, the book goes beyond documentation to provide context and meaning to this unique narrative. Gornall’s writing illuminates the social, cultural, and historical threads woven through the photographs, bringing clarity to a pivotal period in the emirate’s history. The unique historical photo collection featured in this edition is sourced from the National Library and Archives of the United Arab Emirates. This is a powerful edition that preserves memory while enriching understanding. Abu Dhabi Before 1971 is a testament to a way of life that laid the foundations for a nation.

Very nice little box.
This is a great little jewelry box. I don’t have tons of jewelry right now, so this fits everything well, and the leather-look material is very nice. I like the simple design and organization, and it is a nice size to travel with. It looks really pretty sitting on my dresser and goes with the aesthetic of my home well.

Very nice simple jewelry box. My only issue is spacing to put necklaces is a bit tight, but there is plenty of room in this little guy. I put a lighter next to it, for size comparison.
