EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases the distinctive costumes of the Shendi, Funje, and Sheygya people from Sudan, as depicted in Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. The image captures the rich cultural diversity of the Sennar Province, located in central Sudan, with its unique blend of African and Arab influences. In the foreground, a woman from the Shendi tribe is depicted wearing a voluminous, pleated skirt made of brightly colored fabric. She wears a veil covering her head and face, leaving only her eyes visible. The Funje man, wearing a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns, carries a spear and shield, embodying the warrior spirit of his people. Behind them stands a Melik, or king, of the Sheygya tribe. He is dressed in a flowing robe adorned with gold and beads, and holds a sword in one hand and prayer beads in the other. The Melik's regal bearing and ornate headdress signify his power and authority. The background of the image shows the bustling scene of Fazughli Town, with its mud-brick houses and people going about their daily activities. This intriguing snapshot of Sudanese life provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs and costumes of the Shendi, Funje, and Sheygya people during the 19th century. This ethnographic record offers valuable insights into the history and anthropology of Sudan, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of its diverse population. The handcolored lithograph technique adds a level of detail and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating work of art as well as an important historical document.
