Description:

Two men wearing striped textile body cloths, one holding a staff. In the distance can be seen the hut of a homestead, and car tyre tracks are clearly visible on the road near their feet. It seems that Evans-Pritchard visited a Shilluk village briefly during one of his trips to the Nuer, probably near 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.
