EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the Obbos tribe of Uganda performed a powerful war dance. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, is part of Sir Samuel White Baker's renowned expedition to Lake Albert from 1861-1864. Published under the direction of Edouard Charton in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" in Paris, this image showcases the rich cultural heritage of Uganda. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness tribal fighters adorned with traditional Ugandan attire engaging in a fierce display of strength and unity. Armed with lances and bucklers, these warriors exude both grace and power as they move to the rhythm of their custom dance. The significance behind this war dance lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of Ugandan tradition and folklore. Through this engraving, we are transported back to a time when rituals like these were an integral part of daily life for indigenous communities. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Selva Collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the vibrant culture that has shaped Uganda throughout centuries. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and space while celebrating diversity and preserving our collective heritage.
