A Visual Chronicle of Travel Across the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali)

The explorer, Bertram Thomas, made a name for himself when he became the first Westerner to travel across the forlorn Rub' al Khali in 1930-1931. Aptly known as the Empty Quarter, it is the largest sand desert in the world, making up the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula (including Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen). These fascinating halftone prints are from the First American Edition of his journey's chronicle, Arabia Felix. They document a piece of history, and will be sure to bring out the adventurer in you.
