Description
Original business card. 6x9,5 cm. In Arabic and French. On card, engraved b/w portrait photo of Sultan, his tughra (dated 1331 Hegira), and the sign of Lahej sultanate. Lahej was a Sheikdom based in Lahej in Southern Arabia. The Sultanate became self-ruled in 1728 and gained independence in 1740. In 1839, the Sultanate became the Protectorate of Aden of the British Empire, though nominally the 'Abdali Sultan retained his status. The the Protectorate of Aden was briefly ruled again by the Ottomans during World War I, but regained by the British and absorbed into Federation of South Arabia in 1963. The 'Abdali dynasty was officialy abolished in 1967, through the proclamation by South Yemen. Hegira: 1331 = Gregorian: 1915.
