View of desert landscape in ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of desert landscape in the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands. In the left foreground two large trees grow in an expanse of sand dotted with tufts of qassis (sedge) and other vegetation. In the distance beyond ridges of rolling sand dunes continue to the far horizon. 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.
