This 1910 image shows a camel herd with a caravan of camels. This Arab miniature accompanied Maqamat al-Hariri (also known as the ‘'Assemblies of Hariri'’), a collection of some 50 stories written in the Maqama style, a mix of verse and literary prose, by Al-Hariri of Basra (died 1122), an Arab poet, scholar of the Arabic language, and high government official of the Seljuks.
