Lieutenant Cameron's sketches in Africa: a Native Family on the March, 1876. '...we encounter a native family, as it seems, on their way to a change of dwelling-place, the man and the women bearing on their heads each a bundle of household stores, perhaps their bedding, a gourd which serves for a pot, or one of the small children; but the African woman has a peculiar way of slinging her baby at the lower part of her back, which we also remember to have seen among the Fantee mothers at Cape Coast Castle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
