EDITORS COMMENTS
Confluent des deux Nils; Le Nord-Est Africain," translated to "The Confluence of the Two Niles; North-Eastern Africa," is an evocative photograph capturing the breathtaking scene where the Blue Nile and the White Nile converge in Khartoum, Sudan. The image, created in 1914, is a testament to the rich history and geographical significance of this unique location. The photograph, published in the renowned French geographical magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the Nile's grandeur and the intriguing meeting point of two major African rivers. The Blue Nile, originating from Lake Tana in Ethiopia, and the White Nile, which starts from Lake Victoria in Uganda, merge to form the mighty River Nile, the longest river in the world. The photograph captures the distinct blue and white waters as they join, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the brown, sandy banks of the confluence. The image also reveals the Sudanese landscape, with its vast, open spaces and the bustling city of Khartoum in the background. The print, with its intriguing composition and striking contrasts, invites us to explore the wonders of North-Eastern Africa and the rich history of the Nile River. The identity of the creator of this photograph remains a mystery, adding an element of intrigue to the image. Despite this, the photograph continues to be an essential piece of historical documentation and a beautiful representation of the natural world.
