Disguised as Muslims, they travelled together to Nushki before separating and taking different routes to Isfahan in Iran. Later Pottinger was appointent envoy and plenipotentiary in China, as which he negotiated the Treaty of Nanking (1842), ending the First Opium War and ceding Hong Kong to Britain.

Two lithographs on one sheet, one hand coloured. Sheet 330 x 220mm (13 x 8¾").
Two scenes from Captain Henry Butler's "South African Sketches". Above is a coloured and more detailed centre scene of a European rider about to shoot an eland; below is a sketch of a hunter sheltering from a hunderstorm. Butler, a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, was posted to South Africa with the 27th or Inniskilling Regiment of Foot. In 1837 and 1838 he travelled to the hunting grounds of the Bontebok Flats (between the Klipplaats and Windvogel Rivers in Eastern Cape Province, about eighty miles north of King William's Town). He returned to England in 1839 and in 1841, the year of publication, he transferred to the 59th Regiment, promoted to Captain. His book appears to have been a vanity publication, accounting for its rarity, containing only the lithographed title, 15 plates and 15 pages of text. His only other publication was an article in the New Monthly Magazine.
