A photograph from “Photographs of Lord Curzon’s Tour in the Persian Gulf,” 1903 (British Library). View of the shoreline at Koweit [Kuwait]. At right, Lord Curzon and his staff are being carried ashore by Arab men from a small boat at far right. The Shaikh of Kuwait or his retainer stands at left alongside a horse waiting for the Europeans to come ashore. In the distant background, left of centre, a boat – probably a dhow – is moored. The record is made up of 1 b&w silver gelatin print.
