EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intimate moment between a Shilluk mother and her four daughters in Sudan, Africa during the 1920s. The Shilluk people are an indigenous ethnic group residing primarily along the banks of the Upper Nile River in South Sudan. In this image, the mother, bare-breasted and adorned with traditional body scarifications, tenderly holds her youngest child while her older daughters gaze intently at the camera. The girls, dressed in simple loincloths, mirror their mother's strong features and expressive demeanor. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and connection between the family members. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Shilluk people during a time when their traditional way of life was beginning to be disrupted by external influences. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of Africa's indigenous populations.
