EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910 in the Kurdufan Province of Sudan, showcases the traditional mode of transportation used by the local population during that era. The image depicts a group of men, women, and children riding atop a line of oxen, their faces expressing a sense of calm and focus as they navigate the rugged terrain. The oxen, adorned with colorful apparel and intricately designed harnesses, appear strong and determined, carrying the weight of their riders and various packs with ease. The scene is reminiscent of the rich history and cultural traditions of the indigenous tribes of Kordofan, a region known for its diverse ethnic groups and vibrant communities. The riders, dressed in simple yet distinctive clothing, hold spears or other tools, hinting at their role as protectors and providers for their families and tribes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the Sudanese people during a time when traveling by ox was a common and essential means of transportation. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit, as well as the deep connection between people and the animals that helped shape their lives.
