View of desert landscape in ... Size:largeView of desert landscape in the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands. In the central foreground a bush grows near the edge of a sand dune. A steep depression sits on the left, while in the background rolling sands, dotted with vegetation, continue to the horizon in the far distance. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
In the background a row of mud framed shelters sits at the far edge of the market grounds
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party resting with their camels in the Tibesti range of mountains
and ghutra (headscarf) stands on low ridge of rock
topped with a cartridge belt and leather suspenders
Further ahead a saluki hunting dog stands just behind the bush
Behind it another saddled camel stands in the right background
View of an Arab man standing in front of an abandoned building at Sabya al Jadid
on Lake Tana
while others wear bundles of herbs in their hair
On the left a lone camel is couched in sand marked with footsteps and camel tracks
In the left background carpets sit in the sand
and closer still to the camera the collector James Stevenson can be seen talking with a local inhabitant
