"Waganda Boy and Dinka Girl" is a pair of photographs taken by Richard Buchta, a 19th-century Austrian explorer and photographer known for his work in central Africa. The photographs, captured during Buchta's travels in the 1870s, are significant for their early ethnographic documentation of the people of the region, specifically the Baganda of present-day Uganda (referred to as Waganda) and the Dinka of present-day South Sudan.

The images are notable for their portrayal of the subjects in traditional attire and for providing a visual record of the cultural practices and physical appearance of the individuals from these ethnic groups at a time when photography was still in its infancy. Buchta's work, including these photographs, contributed to the European understanding of African societies, although they were often framed within the colonial and ethnographic perspectives of the era.

"Waganda Boy and Dinka Girl" are part of a larger collection of Buchta's photographs that were disseminated in Europe through publications and exhibitions, influencing contemporary views on African cultures. The photographs are considered important historical documents, reflecting both the cultural diversity of the African continent and the early use of photography in anthropological studies.

As historical artifacts, the photographs have been subject to critique for their role in perpetuating colonial stereotypes and for the power dynamics inherent in the gaze of the European photographer capturing images of colonized peoples. Nevertheless, they remain valuable for their detailed depiction of the subjects and for their contribution to the visual history of the African continent during the late 19th century.
