EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a woman from the Sara-Kaba tribe in Congo Republic, Africa, taken in 1936. The artist behind this powerful image is Wide World Photos, featured in the book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler and published by Odhams Press Ltd. The photograph portrays a mother holding her baby close to her chest, showcasing the deep bond between them. However, what strikes viewers immediately is the visible mutilation on the woman's face. This disfigurement was intentionally inflicted upon her to prevent rivals from perceiving her as beautiful or desirable. Despite this cruel act meant to mar her physical appearance, there is an undeniable strength and resilience emanating from her eyes. Her expression reveals both pain and determination as she carries herself with grace amidst adversity. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by indigenous tribes like Sara-Kaba during that era. It sheds light on their unique cultural practices while also highlighting their unwavering spirit. Through this photograph, Wide World Photos allows us to glimpse into a different time and place - one where beauty standards were dictated by harsh traditions rather than individual choice. It prompts us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty and question societal norms that may perpetuate harm or inequality. Overall, this thought-provoking portrait encapsulates not only an individual's story but also speaks volumes about larger issues surrounding identity, culture, and human rights within African communities during the early 20th
