About

R. Talbot Kelly was an English orientalist landscape and genre painter, author and illustrator. In the early 1880s, Talbot-Kelly decided to take up painting, which was his father's profession. In 1882 he travelled by boat to North Africa, and settled in Egypt in 1883, acquiring a studio in Cairo and becoming fluent in Arabic. He travelled throughout the country, writing about and painting the people and scenes he encountered both in towns and in the desert. He spent a considerable time with the Bedouin tribes who he described and illustrated in this 1902 book.

Illustrated throughout with color plates and tissue guards by Kelly.
