EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of desperation and primal instinct. The image depicts a crowd engaged in a brutal fight over the remaining pieces of meat after the leader of the Hamran tribe and others have already claimed their share. This engraving serves as an illustration for Sir Samuel W. Baker's exploration of the Abyssinian tributaries of the Nile in 1861-62. The intensity captured within this artwork is palpable, as individuals fiercely battle one another for sustenance. Their faces contorted with determination, they embody survival instincts that transcend time and culture. Amidst this chaotic struggle, we glimpse glimpses of an African landscape - a river flowing calmly nearby, symbolizing both life-giving water and potential danger lurking beneath its surface. This photograph reminds us of the harsh realities faced by communities living off the land during times when resources were scarce. It also highlights how power dynamics play out even within tribes or groups, where leaders often claim more than their fair share. As we contemplate this historic moment frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with food and resources today. How can we ensure equitable distribution? And what lessons can be learned from these ancient struggles? Through art like this engraving by Leonard de Selva, history comes alive before our eyes – urging us to remember those who fought so fiercely for survival long ago.
