Highlights from SAHARA: Dell Upton
In the first of a series on the SAHARA collection, we'd like to highlight
one of our most prolific contributors, Dell Upton. Dell has contributed
content that covers virtually every time period, part of the world, and type
of subject. One of the many strengths of his content is the large collection
of memorials. These include contemporary war memorials, centuries of grave
markers, royal tombs, commemorative sculptures, and much more. There are
examples from North and South America, the UK, Australia and South Africa.

cities in Croatia-Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik, in Bari in southern Italy and
in Venice to illustrate this point.
