Faces of the Emirates

This Title has Sold Out, Sorry!

Faces of the Emirates By Ronald Codrai There is no better mirror of society than the faces of its people. Ronald Codrai, OBE Faces of the Emirates showcases the people of the Emirates in the mid-20th century, as seen through Codrai’s lens. Rulers, sheikhs, Bedu, mariners, pearl divers, merchants, fishermen, hill me, hersdmen, agriculturists and some of their families – all these and more are featured. Scene-setting photographs introduce each section and many of the photos include a wealth of background detail, making this book far more than simply a collection of portraits. It shows the people in their surroundings and, as such, is a valuable historical record of a time for which there is little documented evidence. It invites the reader to step back in time to a simpler, less hurried way of life. This superb collection of photographs provides and unrivalled document of times gone by and is a valuable addition to the Arabian Album series.
