EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of two Dervish jibbahs worn by Wad El Nejumi and his son, dating back to approximately 1887. The intricate textile work on the jibbah is a testament to the skill of the Sudanese School in the 19th century. These jibbahs hold great historical significance as they are associated with the Sudan-Abyssinian Frontier from 1885 to 1891. It is believed that Wad El Nejumi wore one of these robes when he met his tragic fate at Toski in 1887. The National Army Museum in London proudly displays this piece, which offers a glimpse into Sudanese culture and traditional dress. The vibrant colors and detailed embroidery on the jibbah reflect the rich heritage of this region. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining Wad El Nejumi and his son donning these robes with pride. Their attire symbolizes their affiliation with the Dervish movement and their role as leaders within their community. This image serves as a reminder of how art can preserve history and provide us with insights into different cultures. Through this visual representation, we can appreciate not only the beauty of these garments but also gain a deeper understanding of Sudan's past.
