Close up portrait of Mabarak ... Alfred MaudslayClose up portrait of Mabarak, one of Wilfred Thesiger's Hejaz guides, sitting in the region between Jabal Baydan and At Taif. Mabarak, a teenaged boy from the Bani Sharfa tribe of Wadi al Ahsabah, accompanied Wilfred Thesiger on his 1946 journey through the Hejaz region. 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.
View of a valley near An Namas
On the left two men stand next to a couched camel
The high limestone cliffs of Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] slope from the near left foreground down to a rock escarpment in deep shadow on the far right
The two men are sitting on carpets that have been lain out in the sand beside a fire
This was the first time that Thesiger had worn Arab dress and he looks slightly uneasy and self-conscious
and it carries a large bag from its saddle
while further behind another camel stands
the father of a boy called Kendawa
View of men on board a dhow
The camel's mouth is open and its forelegs are hobbled
