Galla woman. 120 x 165 mm. A view showing a woman standing beside an ox on which a baby is lying in a sun-shaded cradle. The tribe from which the woman (and the groups seen in Y30468A/2-14) come is unidentified, but they bear strong similarities to more northern types and hence may be one of the Galla tribes who inhabited parts of the Tanaland interior at this time. A similar view to Y30468/13.
Fair condition, slight marking.. |

Mainland village group. 165 x 118 mm. A view showing a group of unidentified Africans arranged in two rows. Some carry bows and arrows and spears while others are armed with long-barrelled rifles. The man seen in Y30468A/8 and 12 stands in the back row of the group. From their well-armed appearance it is possible that these are members of the Waboni tribe, against whom Rogers mounted several expeditions (see introduction). Their physical appearance coincides reasonably with a description quoted in 'British East Africa' by P.L. McDermott (2nd Edition, 1895). |

Ceremonial visit to Lamu. 166 x 116 mm. A view looking along the Lamu waterfront towards the British Residency where crowds are gathered on the beach to watch the arrival of a boat at the Residency pier. The occasion and date have not been identified, but since both the boat and the Residency are flying the Zanzibar flag, it is likely that this is a visit by the Sultan (Y30468A/18-20, 22-28 and 42-43 also deal with the same event). Sultan Hamoud bin Mahomed (Sultan 1896-1902) visited Lamu for a holiday from September-October 1901 (missing Mathews' funeral) and this would tie in chronologically with these pictures being placed near those of Mathews' funeral in the album. |

Gomes ('Zanzibar Gazette' 16/10/1901). See Y30468B/1 for a picture of Mathews during his lifetime.
