Comments
Captioned "Steboko's slaves carrying fuel and cutting rice," this image shows four men linked by chains, under guard; in background, people are working in rice fields. Steboko was an African with whom Speke became acquainted. Although the scene is East Africa, it illustrates indigenous domestic or household slavery, a type of slavery that also existed in West Africa.
