EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Arab woman from the Southern Sudan in 1925. The artist, Thomas A Glover, beautifully portrays her with intricate details and a sense of cultural pride. Dressed in traditional costume, she stands as a symbol of strength and resilience amidst the vast African landscape. The image comes from the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt, which chronicles her groundbreaking journey with her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt. Their successful motor vehicle expedition from Cape Town to Cairo in 1924-1926 was a remarkable feat during that time. In this portrait, we witness not only an exploration of Africa but also a celebration of diversity and heritage. The woman's headdress exudes elegance while reflecting her Sudanese roots. Her presence evokes curiosity about her story and experiences within this ever-changing continent. This monochrome photograph transports us back to the early 20th century, offering glimpses into British colonialism and its impact on different cultures across Africa. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and encourages us to appreciate the richness found within each country. As we admire this stunning print, let us acknowledge the bravery and adventurous spirit displayed by both explorers like Stella Court Treatt and individuals like this Arab woman who continue to shape their own narratives against all odds.
