| Description | "A ZANZIBAR INTERIOR. We have here a photograph of the interior of an Arab Chief's home in Zanzibar, one of the latest additions to the British Empire. The conflict between Oriental and Western civilisation is clearly to be discerned in the decoration of the chamber. The high roof, the Eastern rugs on the floor, the costume of the owner, are character-istic of the East. The Buhl cabinets, the bent-wood chairs, the swinging lamp, and many other objects, show that Western industry has been largely laid under contribution. At the end of the room is the carefully curtained bed, which tells us that the pestilent mosquito does his best to make the sweltering nights of the tropical island unbearable." | ||
