View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party resting beside a marakh bush in the lower Wadi Shihan. The party's camels are grazing on the large bush, which sits in the middle of a large expanse of flat sand. 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.
