Kraal of Chaka, the Zulu Chief, 1857. View in South Africa, from a sketch by Mr. James B. West, of '...the Kraal of Chaka, the chief of the Zulus, who first received the English settlers in his territory. It is situated, with numerous other Kraals, on an extensive plain, encompassed by a chain of hills; the road thither from the Bay of Natal lying through beautiful country. The Kraal, as here represented, has the rustic character of an English homestead'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
