Description:

A view across a dry-season Dinka cattle camp at Bor. The ashen remains of cattle hearths can be seen dotted about, helping to keep pests at bay. Cattle dung has been laid out to dry for fuel later. The Seligmans visited villages in the Bor locality in the dry season of 1910, with Archdeacon Shaw acting as guide and interpreter.
