"A Harp Player of the Azandeh or Nyam-Nyams" is a historical photograph taken by Richard Buchta, a 19th-century Austrian explorer and photographer known for his work documenting the people and cultures of Central Africa. The photograph, dating back to the late 1870s, captures a musician from the Azande people, also referred to as the Nyam-Nyams by some explorers of the time, playing a traditional harp-like instrument.

Richard Buchta embarked on his travels to Central Africa in the 1870s, during which he visited the region that is now South Sudan and the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. His photographs are among the earliest visual records of the Azande people, a group known for their complex social structures, art, and music. The image of the harp player is significant as it provides a rare glimpse into the cultural practices of the Azande, showcasing the importance of music and the role of musicians within their society.

The photograph is characterized by its ethnographic approach, typical of the period, where European explorers and anthropologists sought to capture and catalog the diversity of human cultures. Buchta's work, including this photograph, contributed to the visual anthropology of African societies, although it must be understood within the context of the colonial gaze that often framed such expeditions.

"A Harp Player of the Azandeh or Nyam-Nyams" is not only an important historical record but also a piece of art that reflects the technical and aesthetic qualities of early photography. The image is preserved in various collections and has been the subject of study for its representation of the Azande culture and the broader history of photography in Africa.
