Description:
Three Shilluk men posed for a photograph next to a homestead, two holding clubs.
The presence of nearby traders and an industrial mission is evidenced in such things as wire fencing behind them.
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.
