EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Niam Niam lunatic, Mongalla to Terrakekka, Sudan, 1925 (1927)", takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. The image is part of the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt and George G Harrap & Company Ltd. , which recounts the incredible journey from Cape Town to Cairo undertaken by Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt between 1924 and 1926. In this photograph, we see a man standing amidst the vast African bush. He is one of the Niam-Niam people of northern central Africa, specifically southwestern Sudan. His presence evokes both curiosity and intrigue as he gazes directly at the camera with an enigmatic expression on his face. The image captures not only an adventure into uncharted territories but also sheds light on mental health during that era. The term "lunatic" used in the title reflects outdated language once associated with mental illness. This portrait serves as a reminder of how perceptions have evolved over time. Thomas A Glover skillfully captured this moment through his lens using photogravure techniques. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when exploration was limited yet filled with excitement and discovery. As we observe this photograph today, it prompts us to reflect on our shared human history while appreciating how far we have come in understanding different cultures and mental health issues across continents like Africa.
