View of a crowd of ... Images of Wilfred Thesiger

View of a crowd of ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of a crowd of locals and traders at the suq (market) in the town of Abha. A number of donkeys stand in the foreground carrying heavy loads of wood. Behind them a large crowd fills the town square. Further beyond a two storey building fronted with a wooden canopy lines the square. 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.
