The boy sells fresh water, which was at this time was imported to Kuwait by boat. In the background beached dhows (sailboats) rest on the 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.

In the distance behind them lies a vast empty plain

The wooden handle of a khanjar (dagger) is visible at his waist

View of architectural details on the exterior of a palace-style house owned by the Sayid Abu Bakr family

The party's camels are grazing on a bush

On his shoulder sits a young child

The bustard lies on its back in the sand

and behind him three men and two boys rest on the foredeck

sitting in the Wadi al 'Ayn

sheer-sided dune sits high above the flat on the left

at Ghayl bin Yamayn

looking into the cooking pot
