Summary edit

Description

Title: "ZANJUEELAH, THE BOATMAN OF THE RAPIDS"
Additional text: "T. Baines del_E. Walker. lith. London Published October 4th. 1865 by Day & Son, (Limited) Lithographers Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. WC. Day & Son (Limited) Lith."

Content: This was originally published with five other prints (see below), all of Victoria Falls. So this may well be the Zambezi River near the Falls. A small wooden boat or canoe is piloted through the rapids by two black African boatmen, one standing at each end, using poles with a forked tip. Two white European men clutch double-barreled guns, apparently to keep them out of the water. On the shore can be seen a village of round thatched huts and trees (including baobab and two types of palm).
