Légende

'The Zulu Bride', 1868. This cartoon refers to Basutoland (later Lesotho), a land-locked country in South Africa. Tait, Bishop of London, and Bishop Robert Gray discuss the issue of bigamy within the Zulu tribe. Basutoland was originally inhabited by the San, but these people were superseded by the Sotho, a people driven south by the rise of the Zulu nation. The Sotho nation was founded by Moshoeshoe I in 1827 and, in 1868, at his request Basutoland became a British Protectorate. From Punch, or the London Charivari, February 8, 1868.
