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. In his new 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Härtl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1605830984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781605830988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grolier Club\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 9.40w x 1.20d","brand":"Roger Härtl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045576765695,"sku":"9781605830988","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a801748-7a01-4c27-8f5f-038a20c99548.jpg?v=1684979533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photographs-at-the-edge-roger-hrtl-9781605830988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
