Procession of the British Envoys to Madagascar from the seashore to the Fort of Tamatave to dine with the Governor of Tamatave, 1862. Engraving from a drawing by Lieutenant P. P. Oliver, of the Royal Artillery. 'The Advanced Guard...First marched an advanced guard of between thirty and forty soldiers, without hats, each armed with a spear and a flint musket with bayonet: they had cartouches, cross-belts, waist-belts, and white blouses and trousers. There were two officers in the rear, with attendants carrying their scabbards. In the foreground of this part of the procession are shown male and female slaves. The large bamboos here depicted are used as buckets, one of the women has a bullock's horn, with which water is obtained from the well to fill the bamboos'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
