Goto's Kraal, Mashonaland, 1 - 12 Aug. 1890

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3052B/4

Scope and Contents

236 x 180 mm. Showing a group of African villagers posed with a few unidentified Pioneers in a Mashona village. The huts are of the typical Mashona pattern, built of 'daga' with thatched roots. A smaller hut stands on the summit of a large granite boulder in the background. The exact location of Goto's Kraal has not been established, but it was probably somewhere in the area between the Lundi River and Providential Pass (the photograph was probably taken, therefore, in early August).
