A NEW COLLECTION OF ETCHINGS

The first group of six etchings are illustrations from: Yemen: Travels in Dictionary Land
by Tim MacKintosh-Smith and Martin Yeoman    Published by John Murray. July 1998

"Utilizing his experience of living in Yemen since 1982, Mackintosh-Smith takes readers with him through mountains, deserts, and coastal and inland cities as he travels this unique land. He walks down wadis, rides in cabs and trucks and takes a dhow out to an isolated island. Observations of daily life, such as his section on the subculture of the chewing of qat or kat, the mildly narcotic leaf used by Yemeni men, give a sense of the rich history of this nation, once a humming crossroads for the early trade in myrrh and frankincense."
