Page taken from the J. W. Buel's 'Heroes of the Dark Continent' (1889). On the reverse is a smaller image titled 'Said Bargash, Sultan of Zanzibar'. Part of the Michael Graham-Stewart slavery collection.

The book, which deals with European exploration of Africa, with illustrations, many of them quite shockingly graphic depictions of the appalling brutality of the East and Central African slave trade.
