EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century and introduced to His Majesty Katchiba, the esteemed leader of the Obbos tribe in the White Nile region. The image showcases a moment from his journey as he sits atop one of his loyal subjects, who serves both as a guide and a mount for him. Always accompanied by two others who take turns fulfilling these roles, His Majesty ensures that he is well-supported throughout his travels. What truly catches our attention is the presence of a woman in this scene, adorned with a beer jar. She stands beside them, adding an intriguing element to their entourage. Perhaps she holds significance within their culture or plays an important role during their expeditions. This engraving was created as an illustration for Sir Samuel White Baker's travel account titled "Le tour du monde" published under Edouard Charton's direction in 1867 Paris. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of tribes along the shores of Lake Albert during Baker's explorations between 1861-1864. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable print by Leonard de Selva allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides valuable insights into cultural practices and historical journeys undertaken centuries ago.
