View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ...

View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking between oases in Liwa oasis. In the central foreground a few clumps of qassis (sedge) grow on the side of a long ridged dune. In the central foreground one of Wilfred Thesiger's Rashid Bedouin companions rides his camel up the face of the dune accompanied by Warad, the party's saluki dog. Further beyond three more members of the party ride in a line along the side of the dune, which rises high above. Overhead the sky is empty of clouds. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Al Ain to Liwa oasis, Al Dhafra and Baynunah sands in November and December 1948.

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.
