Sudan: 'The Slave Market at Khartoum'. Drawing by Godefroy Durand (1832 - 27 September 1896), 16 January 1892. A drawing from 'The Graphic', London. The accompanying text states: "The chief slave market consists of a large stone building with a verandah. The slaves are generally brought out onto the verandah, where a group of regulars sit smoking their nargilehs and drinking coffee. The slaves are mostly girls from ten to sixteen years of age." Drawn by Durand from a sketch by Father Oberwalder who, with two nuns, recently escaped from the Mahdists.
