Description:
Some Shilluk women in the distance with large water pots standing on the bank of the Sobat River having collected water. A long rope stretches across the bank into the water in the foreground, perhaps a mooring for the boat that Evans-Pritchard was travelling on along the river. It seems that Evans-Pritchard visited a Shilluk village briefly during one of his trips to the Nuer, probably the Doleib Hill missionary station on the Sobat River (roughly six miles from its confluence with the White Nile), established in 1902 by the American Presbytarian Mission and after 1925 run by Rev. J. A. Heasty, seen in one of the images.
