The History of a Slave ... With ... illustrations ... from the author's drawings

Johnston, Harry Hamilton - Sir · 1889 · Kegan Paul & Co. · 48 pictures

An illustrated narrative of the East African slave trade written and drawn by Harry Hamilton Johnston, published in London by Kegan Paul in 1889 for a general Victorian readership. The 48 plates are line-engraved drawings with quoted captions set along the edge: caravans and porters on the march, village gatherings under trees, loaded camels and donkeys at a walled courtyard, hyenas among rocks at night, useful for figure groups, animal studies and captioned plate layouts.
