The History of a Slave

Illustrations to an article by Harry Johnston, 'The History of a Slave', part of which was published in 'The Graphic', 13 April 1889. Six monogrammed engravings by Johnston feature: 'Often I would stop to weep at the misfortunes that had befallen me', 'I was now forced to walk in step with a poor wild pagan in the slave caravan, joined to him during the march by a chain which united our heavy wooden collars.' 'In the slave market', 'beating the taubs', 'Lowering my head, I charged at him like a bull, butting him full in the stomach.' 'The Kano Cavalry'. Part of the Michael Graham-Stewart slavery collection.
