Description:
A number of cattle grazing on a ridge in western Nuerland, with a strikingly light and dark marked cow in the foreground, with its calf.
Evans-Pritchard spent around 7 weeks in the area during 1936, mostly in the Leek Karlual village of Nyueny.
In contrast to his two earlier fieldwork visits when photographing cattle was viewed suspiciously by the Nuer, Evans-Pritchard took numerous record images of them during his later field trips.
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 two Rolleiflex films identified as no.
6 in the Nuer series, which I have identified based upon differences in the handwritten style of enumerating the number 6 on the print reverses, as well as on visual content.
