View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... Images of Sheikh ZayedView of Wilfred Thesiger's party resting in shade cast by a cluster of trees in the Sharqiyah Sands. One man walks in front of the tree carrying a large load of firewood. 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.
