Description:
This magnificent work is the culmination of a massive challenge: to catalogue the entire rock art of the Sahara. Author and photographer have criss-crossed the desert for over 35 years in compiling this definitive work.
Expand description
The oldest works date back to 10,000 BC, and therefore refer to the origins of art and the earliest depictions of collective human consciousness. Each reproduction is accompanied by a detailed commentary, which has proved invaluable as some sites have been damaged recently. This is an important summary and record of a key cultural legacy, as well as being a glorious visual trip through the desert.
Author and photographer are both distinguished experts on the Sahara, having led many expeditions over the years. Around one third of the photographs collected here are previously unpublished, making this book by far the most comprehensive collection of imagery from the Sahara ever to have been published.
