Group portrait of civilian members of the survey, seated with two Bedouin guides in front of a group of palms.

Frederick Whitmore Holland (1837-1881); behind them are seated the guides Hassan and Salem, the oriental scholar Edward Henry Palmer (1840-1882), Captain (later Major General Sir) Charles William Wilson (1836-1905) and the naturalist of the party Claude Wilmot Wyatt.
