EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of excitement and wonder as a group of Shulluk men pose in front of Alan Cobham's biplane at Malakal, Sudan in 1926. The Shulluk people, also known as the Shilluk or Chollo, are an ethnic group residing primarily in the southern part of Sudan and the northern part of Uganda. In the foreground of the image, a man in traditional Shulluk attire, with a colorful robe and a feathered headdress, proudly stands in the center, striking a pose for the camera. He is surrounded by a group of his fellow men, all dressed in various stages of Western-influenced clothing, eagerly looking up at the sleek and impressive biplane behind them. The biplane, owned by British aviator Alan Cobham, is parked on the dusty ground, its wings gleaming in the sunlight. The plane, a testament to the advancements of the modern world, contrasts sharply with the traditional clothing and surroundings of the Shulluk men. The year is 1926, and the 1920s are in full swing. The world is changing rapidly, and the advent of air travel is revolutionizing the way people connect with one another and explore new territories. The Shulluk men, like many others, are curious and intrigued by this new technology and the opportunities it presents. This photograph is a snapshot of a moment in history, a moment of cultural exchange and wonderment, as the traditional and the modern collide in the heart of Africa.
