Légende

Arab Governor, Lamoo, [Lamu], 1873. '...along the shores of the Zanzibar and Mozambique Channels, the northern part of Madagascar, and the Comoro and Johanna islands,...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... As for the Arab ruler of Zanzibar, he was rather obstinate at first; but he has since yielded to the energetic remonstrances of the British Government. A new treaty was signed, on the 5th June, by our Consul, Dr. Kirk, acting on behalf of her Majesty, and by a relative of the Sultan, as Plenipotentiary of his Highness. The treaty provides for the immediate cessation of the transport of slaves throughout his Majesty's dominions, for the abolition of all slave markets, and for the protection of all liberated slaves...The sketches...were drawn by Mr. Bartle Frere, son of the Special Envoy, when he lately visited each of those places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
