66 watercolours, 150 x 200 mm in size. The captions, including the names of institutions, have been recorded as found and may include language which is offensive, inaccurate or inappropriate.

Our first sight of the Victoria Nyanza from Sendege Lower Kavirondo, 1889-10-26
155 x 113 mm. A view looking across scrubland towards the shores of Lake Victoria with cleared ground and pitched tents in the foreground. Gedge’s map shows the expedition at Sendege on October 22nd but the map and diary do not exactly correspond. The diary entry, for October 26th, which records the first sight of the lake, is probably the more accurate: ‘v. bad walking and then sighted the Lake just below. Descended and camped close to the margin. . .’
