SAHARA Highlights: Eating and Drinking

Oct 5, 2018 by Jacqueline Spafford and Jeffrey Klee, SAHARA Co-Editors

Hungry? Thirsty? This month we look at restaurants, cafes, pubs, diners, food stalls, and more in the SAHARA collection. They span the globe, and as usual there was an enormous breadth to choose from. Please explore the amazing contributions from our members and discover how rich the collection is.

To see more, visit SAHARA: sahara.artstor.org
