View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Size:smallView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party resting near Kismim Pass in the Jabal Qara mountains. In the fields below Wilfred Thesiger's party of Arab and Qara men rest in camp in the middle of a grassy down dotted with large bushes. In the distance beyond trees grow across a vast hillside. 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.
