EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts the vibrant and distinctive costumes of the Baraabra people from Sudan, as captured in Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures. The image showcases a lively scene of Baraabra men and women from a Sudanese town, likely located near Dongola. The men are depicted wearing loincloths made of animal hides, adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers. They carry spears as a symbol of their warrior culture. The Baraabra women, on the other hand, wear colorful skirts made of cotton or linen, which are adorned with beads, shells, and other decorative elements. Their hair is styled in elaborate braids and they wear necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. The Baraabra people are a Nubian ethnic group, known for their rich cultural heritage and strong connection to their land. This ethnographic record provides a valuable insight into the customs and costumes of the Baraabra people during the 19th century. The lithograph is a testament to the diversity and complexity of African cultures, and serves as an important historical document for anthropologists, historians, and scholars of African studies.
