EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases a group of Sudanese sailors skillfully navigating a traditional light craft, or dhow, on the majestic River Nile. At the time, Sudan was under British rule as part of the British Empire in East Central Africa. The men, dressed in simple loincloths and barefoot, expertly maneuver the vessel, their concentration and teamwork evident as they sail through the tranquil waters. The light craft, with its distinctive triangular sails, was an essential mode of transportation along the Nile, particularly for the local population. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of people and cultures that have shaped the rich history of Africa during the 1920s. The serene scene, with the sun casting long shadows on the water, transports us back in time and invites us to reflect on the enduring connection between people and the natural world.
