W. Walton, lith. from a drawing by Capt.n W. Allen. Day & Haghw Lith.rs to the Queen.
London, Published Sept.r 1840, by John Murray._ Hodgson & Graves. _ Ackermann & Co.
Coloured lithograph. Printed area 210 x 260mm (8¼ x 10¼").
A view of an riverside settlement in Nigeria, published in Captain William Allen's 'Picturesque views on the river Niger, sketched during Lander's last visit in 1832-33'. Despite Mount Pattèh's distinctive table-top, the location has never been unidentified, although the botanist Vogel described the mountain as being 'near the confluence of the Niger and Benue Rivers, Northern Nigeria'. In 1832 Richard Lander led an expedition to found a trading settlement at the junction of the Niger and Benue rivers. However, the expedition encountered difficulties, including deaths, fever, and Lander was attacked by Africans, receiving a musket ball in his thigh. He managed to return to the coast, but died there from the infected wound.

Prospect of Bense Island and Fort, from Smith. Bense Island. Negro House at Sierra Leona.
[London: Thomas Astley, 1745.]

A map and two two views of Bunce Island, a British slave fort on the Sierra Leone river, twenty miles upstream from Freetown. Raised about 1670 by the Royal African Company, it was one of the chief suppliers of slaves to the rice industry in the British colonies of South Carolina and Georgia. The banning of the slave trade in 1807 made the fort uneconomic and it was abandoned in 1840. During the negotiations for the Treaty of Paris, ending the American War of Independence in 1783, one of the British delegates was Richard Oswald, one of the owners of Bunce Island; on the American delegation was Henry Laurens, a wealthy rice planter and slave dealer, Bunce Island's business agent in Charleston. From John Green's 'A new general collection of voyages and travels; consisting of the most esteemed relations, which have been hitherto published in any language; comprehending everything remarkable in its kind, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America'.
