'Sarawak' [Borneo]
Inscribed lower left in ink by the artist, as title, and mounted with ZBA4901 on page 25 (recto) in Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook (ZBA4855).
The view shows a moderate-sized village of huts (apparently not Dyak longhouses) on the edge of a river. Most lie beyond the few in the foreground where it is the way that the tree roots grow down the river bank that may have drawn Fanshawe's attention. He may have drawn it during the brief jungle expedition covered in Chapter 7 of his privately printed family biography (1904) and, if so, it is likely to be on the Quop, Sarawak or Diamond river.
