Description: | Stereoscopic albumen print. Part of the Michael Graham-Stewart slavery collection. The Royal Geographical Society copy has further information in Grant's hand below the image. He states: 'Slave Market-place Zanzibar, very difficult to take. Slaves and Arabs kept running away leaving only a line of women slaves whose legs and a face or two may be observed. The woman's entire (??) is a blue cotton sheet or cloth tied tight under arms and extending as far as the knee. Their heads are cropped as (?) as scissors can crop them. Very often they have for ornament a hole through the upper lip. At the market they come out very clean?'
