Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

The African section of the scrapbook opens with a portrait from the series taken by 10th Company Royal Engineers of the Abyssinian Campaign in 1868. It shows Colonel Grant among the group of staff posing with General Sir Robert Napier and is a different image from no. 49 in catalogue item 3 (Object 3.49). On the verso of the page are three news-clippings, one a picture of Christ Church, Zanzibar and the other two consist of a brief notice and picture of and about the Mission Steamer ‘Charles Janson’ on Lake Nyasa. Then follow eleven pages, mainly stereoscopic prints of photographs taken by Grant in Zanzibar in 1860. Most are annotated in manuscript by Grant.
