Ingram Brothers (Printers and Publishers) : The Illustrated London News. No. 2662. Vol. XCVI. Saturday, April 26, 1890

(London: Ingram Brothers, 1890)

400 x 296 mm; magazine, disbound from volume XCVI, and contained within a film fronted bag; wrappers discarded; pp. [513-544]; several woodcuts and advertisements. Moderate foxing; stitching loose; faint stain to fore-edge of some leaves, not affecting printed area. There is an obituary for Alexander M. Mackay, pioneering missionary to Uganda, along with a portrait. A further item of African interest is the half-page picture captioned "Landing of Dinizulu, the exiled Zulu prince, at St. Helena." The accompanying explanation gives a partial account of Dinuzulu's quarrel with Zibebu, and the outcome: "Toward the end of [1888], Dinizulu and his uncles, who had surrendered after their defeat, were put on trial for rebellion and treason; the inquiry was prolonged until April 1889, when they were sentenced to transportation - Dinizulu for ten years, Tshingana for twelve years, and Undabuko, a full brother of Cetewayo, for fifteen years. Miss Colenso, daughter of the late Bishop of Natal, has written an able article in the Universal Review, published April 15, to show that these Zulu chiefs have been very unjustly treated. We cannot enter into the discussion, but hope they will be comfortable at St. Helena. A correspondent there, Mr. B. Grant, has obliged us with a photograph of the scene of their landing."
