Early town plan of Riyadh with key to the sites within the city walls. From Palgrave's popularised narrative of his travels through Arabia.
Palgrave is said to have become friendly with Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud while in Riyadh. He wrote that Faisal's son, Abdul Rahman bin Faisal, once asked him for strychnine. Palgrave feared that Abdul wanted it to poison his father, though nothing came to this in the end as Palgrave was charged with espionage and had to flee.
