EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1925 in Terrakekka, Sudan. The image captures a characteristic Dinka attitude as a man stands confidently on one leg, showcasing his remarkable balance and poise. His strong presence is accentuated by the vast African landscape surrounding him. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover, this print is part of the renowned book "Cape to Cairo" written by Stella Court Treatt and published in 1927. The book chronicles the extraordinary journey undertaken by Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt from Cape Town to Cairo via motor vehicle between 1924 and 1926. The Dinka people, hailing from southern Sudan, are known for their resilience and rich cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into their way of life during that time period. It serves as a testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized British expeditions across Africa in the early 20th century. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia while emphasizing the subject's striking silhouette against the backdrop of water and bushland. This print not only showcases Thomas A Glover's talent but also provides us with a valuable historical document capturing an important moment in time within both British colonial history and Dinka culture.
