Offered for sale here is a framed original Vintage Rolex Watch magazine advertisement from 1986.
To prevent glare, the photograph was taken without the frame's perspex front cover. Consequently, the advertisement may appear slightly raised or uneven against the backing sheet in the image.
The text on the print reads:
Over two-thirds of the world's surface are covered by oceans. One-fifth of the remaining land is desert. These figures are of special interest to Dr. Farouk El-Baz, whose native Egypt is 96 per cent desert.
Dr. El-Baz attempts to redress our limited knowledge of deserts – of their origins, their expansion, their possible reclamation. His task is enormous, for even a single desert cannot be covered in one researcher's lifetime.
But Dr. El-Baz, a geologist who emphasises the global picture, has aerospace technology on his side.
Indeed, it was photographs of the wind-swept surface of Mars that first prompted Dr. El-Baz to say, "It looks like the desert of my childhood in Egypt." Poring over Sahara pictures taken from space, he found subtleties that the geological maps cannot show: three distinct bands of colour splitting the desert into different zones. One of these, an earthy-yellow zone, was good, fertile soil, ripe for reclamation – and undetected throughout 7,000 years of Egypt's history.
Again, comparing space pictures that were taken at ten-year intervals, Dr. El-Baz saw that sand dunes, like glaciers, have predictable movements – vital knowledge for siting often buried desert roads.
Analysis of global weather patterns and regional topography has led him to state, quite simply, "Deserts are not caused by goats eating the shrubbery. It's lack of rain coupled with wind erosion that we should be blaming. It's scientifically evident that desertification is more affected by solar cycles than by man."
After many expeditions his understanding is growing. Aerospace technology is helping him uncover the mysteries of the past. As for the present, he depends on the precise technology of Rolex.
In the searing heat and the dust storms of earth's most desolate regions, Dr. Farouk El-Baz has found his Rolex – like the desert – to be predictable. And enduring.
To investigate Earth's deserts, Dr. Farouk El-Baz began on Mars.

PHOTOGRAPH BY GEORG GERSTER
This print is more than 40 years old, so there will be signs of age. Some discoloration is commonplace and often there are small tears and signs of wear — little badges of authenticity.
There will be images and/or text on the back-side of your print. In some cases this may be slightly discernible through your print.
The brand-new A4 frame measures 22.7cm x 31.7cm x 1.0cm.
The print sits centered on an A4 sheet of Canson Iris Vival 185gsm card stock and is held in place using a single Goldbuch acid-free adhesive.
