Sir Wilfred Thesiger (1910–2003) was a writer, photographer, and explorer, whose greatest journey took him across the Rub’ al Khali, a vast desert encompassing much of the Arabian Peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Roger Härtl considers these two far-flung figures side by side, telling the stories of two influential explorers through their bibliographic and photographic work, and creating a tapestry where exploration, writing, and image-making all conjoin. As Härtl shows in this richly illustrated volume, the triumphs of Sella and Thesiger coincided with the end of a golden age of geographical exploration and with the rise of photography as we know it today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147669647596,"sku":"9781605830988","price":123.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781605830988-photographs-at-the-edge-vittorio-sella-and-wilfred-thesiger.jpg?v=1786450645"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/david-breashears.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
