View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Frame:naturalView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party loading their camels in the Wadi 'Itwad. The camels carry racks on their backs piled with boxes and bags. They are couched in front of some bushes and trees. Mountains in the background. 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 distance beyond large dunes dotted with a few tufts of qassis (sedge) sit high above a far salt flat

a wraparound skirt and has a taqiyah cap on his head

A bare flat runs from the foreground into the near distance

Sailors stand on the deck of a dhow

On the right three men and a boy stand in the market thoroughfare

with a blanket hanging and crops drying on a wall behind them

View of tall round watchtowers in the town of Badr

He wears a thobe topped with a cartridge belt and a taqiyah cap

while nearby cargo is piled on the shore in front of buildings

the ends are then sewed together

Four of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions trek in a line across a wind-rippled dune

Behind him a vast flat plain dotted with scattered clumps of vegetation runs into the far distance
