Légende

Zanzibar slave girl, 1873. '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...were drawn by Mr. Bartle Frere, son of the Special Envoy, when he lately visited each of those places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
