Description:
A man described by Evans-Pritchard as an 'Anuak-Nuer' i.e. of mixed parentage, pulling in a fishing net from a river, probably the Sobat River near the wood station also photographed on the same film. Evans-Pritchard has presumably noted the youths origins since net fishing was not practised by the Nuer, preferring the harpoon.
