Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Africans of the 1891-2 Stairs Expedition. The men with rifles are most likely to be askaris, the others are porters, the man in the jacket is probably a nyampara (supervisor or chief). In the background at left are sections of two small boats which they carried for crossing rivers. Next to them, middle background are bales of cloth used for bartering for food and permission to cross chiefs' territories. Note the stack of rifles at right. The askaris were armed with 'Fusils Gras'. Other firearms may be officers' weapons being carried by porters.
Français : Les hommes avec fusils de chasse et de guerre sont des askaris, les autres sont des porteurs, l'homme en veste est probablement un nyampara (surveillant ou chef). De petits bateaux (Au fond à gauche) ont été apportés pour traverser les fleuves. Des balles de tissu servent aux échanges contre de la nourriture et pour obtenir la permission de traverser les territoires des chefs. |
