description: "Richard Buchta was an Austrian explorer in East Africa, travel writer, painter and photographer. Born in Radlow, Galicia, in the Austrian Empire, he traveled widely, first to Germany, France as well as the Balkans, and later also to Turkey, Egypt and the Sudan. Upon his return to Germany and later to Austria, he published several books on the geography, ethnic groups and political conditions of Sudan in the 1870s and 1880s. His historical photographs, taken mainly in southern Sudan, have been regarded as the earliest photographs of ethnic people living along the White Nile and beyond."
