It is a fascinating glimpse into another world.’ - The Guardian These photographs from Alan Villiers’1938-39 journey on an Arab dhow, printed with excerpts from his original 1940 account of the trip, capture a lost era of maritime culture. Framed by an authoritative introduction and a poignant epilogue, the collection rightfully restores Villiers to prominence alongside his land-going counterparts such as Wilfred Thesiger. The introduction illustrates Villiers’vibrant personality and discusses the writing and photographic skills that he developed during his career. These abilities allowed him to produce a sympathetic record of the last days of commercial sail during the final years of the British Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Villiers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58222818034046,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Sons-of-Sindbad-by-Alan-Villiers2.heic?v=1792075161","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/sons-of-sinbad","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
