Portrait of one of Wilfred ... Portraits of notable people

Portrait of one of Wilfred ... Portraits of notable peoplePortrait of one of Wilfred Thesiger's guides with a camel at Haluf well in the Wadi Haluf near Haluf well. In the left foreground one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin guides waits while a camel drinks from a pool of water in a barren wadi. Many camels crowd around behind the pool, and further beyond steep rock walls rise up in the background. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before
