EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph print from the 1910s, showcases the confluence of the Blue Nile and the White Nile in Khartoum, Sudan. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, is an intriguing blend of cartography and photography. The print offers a unique perspective of the two rivers merging, creating the Nile, the longest river in the world. Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, is situated at the junction of the two Niles, making it a significant location in African history and geography. Omdurman, a city in Sudan located to the west of Khartoum, is also depicted in the photograph, adding to the richness of the scene. The photograph, although unsigned, is a testament to the meticulous mapmaking techniques of the early 20th century. The intricate details of the rivers, cities, and surrounding geographical features are evident, highlighting the importance of cartography during this era. The use of black and white tones adds to the vintage charm of the print, transporting us back in time. The confluence of the Blue Nile and the White Nile in Khartoum is a symbol of unity and life-giving force for the Sudanese people. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and significance of this unique location in African history and geography.
