Description:
A three-quarter length portrait of two girls wearing bead waist strings.
The smiling girl to the right is holding a page from a printed book, perhaps just given to her by Evans-Pritchard, her hand being supported from below by the girl next to her.
Beyond are two square objects, perhaps bundles of paper or sitting mats.
The girls are described as Karlual - being that section of the Nuer Leek amongst whom Evans-Pritchard spent 5 weeks at Nyueny village in 1936.
Photographer:
Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard
Date of Photo:
1936 October - November
Region:
[Southern Sudan] Wahda ?Nyueny village
Group:
Nuer Leek Karlual
Notes:
There would seem to be three Rolleiflex films identified as no.
8 in the Nuer series, which I have identified based upon differences in the handwritten style of enumerating the number 8 on the print reverses, as well as on visual content.
