'Zanzibar Slave Boy; Zanzibar Slave Girl; Banyan Merchant, Lamoo; One of the Governor's Staff, Majunga; Arab Governor, Lamoo; Governor of Majunga, Madagascar...We have been favoured with a number of sketches made along the shores of the Zanzibar and Mozambique Channels, the northern part of Madagascar, and the Comoro and Johanna islands, where the traffic in n*groes kidnapped by Arabs on the mainland of Africa has frightfully increased of late years, the slaves being mostly sold for conveyance to Turkish or Arabian ports in the Red Sea or in the Persian Gulf...The sketches we now engrave, which are portraits of the Arab Governor of Lamoo, on the mainland territory of the Zanzibar Sultan; an Indian Banyan merchant at Lamoo, from Bombay; a n*gro boy and girl in slavery at Zanzibar; and the Hova Governor of Majunga, on the north-west coast of Madagascar, with an official person of his staff, were drawn by Mr. Bartle Frere, son of the Special Envoy, when he lately visited each of those places'.
