Description

Seated profile portrait of a tribesman of the Rashid Bedouin at an encampment near Bir al Tawil in the Ramlat ar Rabbad. This man is the son of Muhammad, a sheikh of the Rashid Bedouin, with whom Wilfred Thesiger and his men stayed for a few days during his first crossing of the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) in December 1946. He kneels in the sand beside a small pile of twigs, squinting into the bright sunlight.

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.
