Photographer’s Note

The town of Chinguetti was a former big town of islam and is well known for its very old arab books.
It is possible to visit some private library where can be found books from between Xeme and XIIeme century as the book here presented.

Photo taken with 1600iso setting and the higher aperture of the zoom to reach an acceptable time exposure duration.
I could correct the red tones of the photo, but it is mainly because of the colors of the sand and the walls, so I did not correct it artificially.
