Description:
The canvas tent used by Evans-Pritchard during his Nuer fieldwork placed under the shade of some large trees.
The photograph format suggests that the image was taken during Evans-Pritchard's first fieldwork trip in 1930, and a location for this image of Pakur or Yoinyang.
A small group of Nuer and probably Evans-Pritchard's servants, can be seen gathered near the tent, seated on the floor.
Trucks tracks can be seen in the dirt in the foreground.
