EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'A Member of the Bari Tribe, Sudan; Then Egyptian Equatorial Province, c.1887,' provides a glimpse into the traditional attire and appearance of the Bari people during the late 19th century. The Bari are an ethnic group residing primarily in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the time this image was created, the region was part of the Egyptian Equatorial Province, which was under the control of the Egyptian government. The man depicted in the engraving is shown wearing a simple loincloth made of animal hide, adorned with intricate beadwork and shells. His body is painted with a design of vertical stripes, which is a common traditional practice among the Bari people. The man's hair is styled in a topknot, and he wears a necklace made of animal teeth and beads. He holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, signifying his readiness for battle. The engraving is a historical record of the Bari people during a time of significant change in their history. The Egyptian occupation of the region brought new cultural influences and political structures, which would shape the Bari society for decades to come. This image offers a window into the past, providing valuable insights into the customs and traditions of the Bari people before the onset of external influences. The engraving, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Bari people and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. It is a testament to the diversity and complexity of African cultures and the need to acknowledge and celebrate their unique histories and traditions.
