View of one of Wilfred ... Frame:goldView of one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin guides beside a tumulus burial mound in a wadi near Mudayy. The man sits in profile on a camel to the left of the tumulus burial mound, which is made up of a large heap of stones. Behind the tumulus a vast empty flat stretches out uninterrupted 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
