Framed Print of The East African Slave Trade: Lurio River, with the Picos Fragos, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The East African Slave Trade: Lurio River, with the Picos Fragos, 1873....we have engraved for the present Number four views of Mozambique and the neighbouring territory, which were obligingly lent us by Sir William Parker...having been drawn by him from slight sketches made on that coast a few years ago by his brother, the late Captain Hyde Parker...Sir William Parker writes: About a hundred miles north of Mozambique are the bays of Almeida and Lurio, into the latter of which flows the river of the same name...Like most of the east-coast rivers, the Lurio has a bar across its mouth, with very little water on it in a dry season; but in the rains it pours down a great body of water of a reddish tint...On the north bank, about three miles up, is a considerable village, with some large huts, which the natives say are stores for grain, beans, and other produce, sent to Mozambique for the food of the slaves there; but it is probable that they also serve the purpose, for which they are well adapted, of slave barracoons when so required. From Lurio Bay are visible the curious distant peaks, shown in the Engraving, which are called by the Portuguese Picos Fragos, and which are an excellent landmark for this part of the coast'.
