Central Africa: 'The Arabs among the Benecki'. Illustration by Hermann Wilhelm Leopold Ludwig Wissman (4 September 1853 - 15 June 1905), 1880. Arab slave traders attacking an African village, which von Wissman described as "eager to obtain slaves and ivory, chasing and slaying members of the West African Benecki, who attempted to flee into the forest. The Benecki always returned to their villages and fields, but when the harvest was ready, the slave traders would reappear to seize crops and people".
