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.

Will update when used!
Size: 7pcs Matcha Whisk Set, Color: Light Green
The color is pretty true to the image, it comes in great packaging and honestly because it’s so nice I still haven’t used mine yet… it’s legit just sitting on my desk in its box and I plan on getting 2 more as gifts for friends. (However I have to test the whisk first and I kinda wish it came with a matcha canister)
