EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman of Lony (Upper Sennar) Detained captive on the boats of the Egyptian Expedition" takes us back to the mid-19th century in Sudan. The image, captured by French School artist Leonard de Selva, is an illustration from Pierre Tremaux's "Journal of travels in Oriental Sudan". The photograph showcases a woman from Lony, a region in Upper Sennar, who has been detained as a captive on one of the boats belonging to the Egyptian Expedition. Her expression reveals both strength and vulnerability as she gazes into the distance. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many African people during this era. It sheds light on issues such as enslavement and exploration that were prevalent at that time. The intricate details captured through engraving bring forth not only her physical appearance but also provide insight into Arab civilization within Sudan. This historical document offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past while acknowledging its complexities. Preserved in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph continues to evoke emotions and spark conversations about colonialism, identity, and human rights. As we observe this powerful image today, let us remember those whose stories have often been overlooked or forgotten.
