EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young Serae girl from the Horn of Africa stands proudly before the camera, her extraordinary wild hair cascading down her back in intricately braided locks. The image, captured in Djibouti, East Africa (then known as French Somaliland) around 1905, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Serae people, who originate from the Eritrean highlands. The young woman's traditional attire, consisting of a simple yet elegant wraparound skirt and a beaded necklace, adds to her ethereal beauty. Her large, expressive eyes convey a sense of curiosity and strength, while the crucifix around her neck hints at the influence of Christianity on the region. Despite the harsh and arid climate of Djibouti, the Serae people have managed to preserve their unique traditions and way of life. The intricate hairstyles, which can take hours to create, are a testament to their skill and dedication to their cultural identity. This photograph is an extraordinary reminder of the history and diversity of the African continent, and the resilience and beauty of its people. The Serae girl's bold gaze and confident posture challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions that have long been perpetuated about Africa and its inhabitants. The photograph, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the past and offers insights into the complex and fascinating world of the Serae people. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the world's diverse cultural heritage.
