EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of cultural celebration and unity. The image showcases the "Welcome dance by the women of the tribe" as they joyously greet Baker and his wife upon their return from Lake Albert (Albert Nyanza). The engraving, created in the 19th century by an unknown artist, beautifully illustrates this traditional African folk dance. In this scene, we witness a vibrant display of tradition and community. The women, adorned in their native attire, move gracefully to the rhythm of drums while surrounded by curious onlookers. Their synchronized movements exude energy and excitement, creating an atmosphere filled with anticipation. The engraving not only highlights the beauty of these Ugandan dancers but also provides insight into their customs and values. It serves as a reminder that dance is not merely entertainment but an integral part of culture—a way for communities to come together in celebration or during important milestones. Through this historical artwork preserved in private collection, we are transported back in time to witness this significant event through the eyes of Sir Samuel White Baker. This image invites us to appreciate both the diversity and interconnectedness found within different cultures around the world.
