View of water sellers unloading ... Thesiger CollectionView of water sellers unloading imported water from a dhow (sailboat) at the harbour in Kuwait City. In the foreground men stand in the tide beside a dhow, loading filled water skins onto waiting donkeys. Behind them more dhows are moored in shallow water close to shore. 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.
