EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Types of Nyam-Nyam: Dr. G. Schweinfurth's recent expedition to the Nyam-Nyam district in the Interior of Africa,' was created by W.F. Kirby in 1875. The image is taken from 'Illustrated Travels' by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. The Nyam-Nyam district, located in central Africa, was the focus of a significant expedition led by Dr. Georg Schweinfurth in the late 19th century. This photograph captures the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the region, with a particular focus on the Azande people. The image features several men from the Nyam-Nyam district, each with distinct facial features and clothing. They are shown in profile or three-quarters view, providing a clear and detailed look at their features. The men wear various forms of body paint and adornments, reflecting their cultural traditions. The photograph is a valuable record of the indigenous peoples of central Africa during a time when European exploration and colonization were shaping the continent. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the local population, providing insight into their customs, traditions, and appearance. The photograph is also a testament to the work of H.W. Bates and W.F. Kirby, who documented their travels and experiences in Africa through their writing and photography. Their work was published in 'Illustrated Travels,' which provided readers with a visual and textual record of their journey, helping to increase awareness and understanding of the continent and its people.
