From a Sketch taken on the Spot, by Dr. Mellor. Drawn by Mrs. R. Mountain.
Bowells Anactastic Press, Ipswich. [n.d. c.1863.]
Lithographic etching, rare. 228 x 285mm. 9 x 11¼".
Charles Frederick Frazier Mackenzie (1825-1862) was a Church of England bishop of Central Africa. Following Dr David Livingstone's request to Cambridge, Bishop Mackenzie took on the position of being the first missionary bishop in Nyasaland (now Malawi). He opposed the slave trade causing the enmity of the Yao and he worked among the people of the Manganja country until January 1862 when he went on a supplies trip. The boat they were travelling on sank and as their medical supplies were lost, Bishop Mackenzie's malaria could not be treated. Dr Livingstone erected a cross over his grave.

On the strength of his account he was awarded the Société de Géographie's third 'Grande Médaille d'Or des Explorations'. He published this account in 1832 but by the end of the year it was established that his involvement was fiction. After his fiancée killed herself because of the scandal, he left France for Brazil where he was murdered in 1837. Sir Richard Burton maintained that the details in the account were credible, but today it is believed that Douvill's chief sources were unpublished Portuguese manuscripts to which he had ready access.

Scenes in Kafirland, and Incidents in the Kafir War of 1851-2-3. From Sketches by Two Officers of the 43rd Lt.-Infantry.
[by Lieuts. Lumley Graham & Hugh Robinson?]
London: Messrs Dickinson Bro's, Her Majesty's Publishers, 114 New Bond Street.
Large folio, printed stiff wrappers; title, 1p. with two columns text, dated 'March 8th, 1854' at foot; 21 tinted lithographs on 18 plates, as called for. With modern half calf gilt portfolio, with ties. Spine of wrappers rebacked, wrappers spotted, wear to title, occasional spotting to plates.
A fine record of the Seventh Xhosa Wars (1846–1847), the first in which the tribesmen used modern weapons to fight the British. Most of the plates are scenery, but the work includes a 'Fingle War Dance' and a 'Kafir and Hottentot War-Party'. The only clue to the artists is their initials, 'LG' and 'HR'; according to Mendelssohn's perusal of Hart's Army List, the only matching serving officers were Lieutenants Lumley Graham and Hugh Robinson.
