EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing the unique cultural practices of young girls in Terrakekka, Sudan, in 1925. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover as part of the renowned book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt, this image offers a glimpse into an extraordinary journey through Africa. The photograph depicts two young Sudanese girls with sticks inserted into their noses and lips - a traditional form of body piercing within their community. Their striking facial adornments reflect both their cultural heritage and personal expression. Standing proudly against the backdrop of the African bush, these girls embody strength and resilience. As pioneers on an epic motoring expedition from Cape Town to Cairo, Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt embarked on a groundbreaking adventure that would forever shape history. This image serves as a testament to their exploration of the vast African continent during the early 20th century. Through this monochrome portrait captured by Thomas A Glover, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also the diversity found within British colonial territories. It is a reminder that even amidst unfamiliar landscapes and customs, humanity's spirit for discovery knows no bounds. This remarkable print from Heritage Images invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind its creation and its historical significance within British imperial exploration.
