Unbound. Zustand: Very Good. Carte-de-visite with albumen image. Measures 2½" x 4". Captioned as above. Two formerly enslaved children stand arm-in-arm, neatly dressed. Printed notation on verso: ".proceeds from the sale of these photographs will be devoted exclusively to the education of colored people in the Department of the Gulf. ." Image a little faded and a little foxing on the card, still very good or better. One of series of images of enslaved and freed children produced to elicit contributions; they have now become quite uncommon. According to *Harper's Weekly* (as quoted on the website of The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History) which provided brief biographies of the subjects: "Rosina Downs is not quite seven years old. She is a fair child, with blonde complexion and silky hair. Her father is in the rebel army. She has one sister as white as herself, and three brothers who are darker. Her mother, a bright mulatto, lives in New Orleans in a poor hut, and has hard work to support her family" "Isaac White is a black boy of eight years; but none the less intelligent than his whiter companions. He has been in school about seven months, and I venture to say that not one boy in fifty would have made as much improvement in that space of time." Scarce.

[10], 15-404, [4] pp.Original edition of this highly interesting edition of the diary of Colonel Christopher Palmer Rigby (1820-1885), British Consul on Zanzibar, recording his strenuous attempts to put a stop to the business of slavery in the Sultanate, and his success in securing freedom for thousands of individual slaves. The original diary was sold recently, in February 2021, for 78.000. It was his daughter Lilian M. Russell-Rigby (1875-1949) who was the editor, interspersed with lines pf poetry and extracts of historical commentary in several languages, including Arabic, various newspaper cuttings and personal letters. His beneficence went so far as rescuing two slave boys and bringing them back to London to be educated.Rigby found himself in the center of the complicated power struggle between the Sultan of Zanzibar, Majid bin Said, his brother the Sultan of Oman, Thuwaini, and their brother Barghash, trying to maintain peace and enforce the anti-slavery treatises already in place.Zanzibar's position made it ideal as a stopping off point for those attempting to explore the African interior and in his journal Rigby records visits of the great explorers of the time: Richard Burton, Speke, Grant, the German explorers Dr. Roscher and Baron von der Decken as well as Mr. Thornton of the Livingstone expedition. Letters of all these explorer are included.Some minor marginal foxing, otherwise in good condition.
