EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Khartoum, the White Nile, and Fashoda of To-Day" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a momentous scene in Khartoum, Sudan, showcasing the bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives. In the foreground of the photo, we see a lady named Lady Lechmere standing confidently on the street. Her presence adds an air of elegance amidst the vibrant chaos surrounding her. Further down the road, Shilluk boatmen sail along the river Nile on their traditional boats known as nugger. The main street is lined with buildings that reflect both English and Sudanese architectural influences. It's fascinating to observe how these two cultures intertwine harmoniously in this cosmopolitan city. Notably captured in this photograph are significant landmarks such as Fashoda and Sirdar's Palace. These structures hold historical importance within Khartoum's rich tapestry. The photographer skillfully frames this shot to include a glimpse of Roan antelope heads mounted on display outside one building – perhaps serving as trophies from hunting expeditions or symbols of power and prestige. Overall, this remarkable snapshot offers us a window into Khartoum's past - its diverse population, thriving trade routes along the White Nile River, and its unique blend of colonial influence with local traditions. It serves as a testament to both photography's ability to freeze moments in time and our shared human history across
