Drawings by Burton are scarce. This image appeared in Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo, vol 1, p229.
Ankombe (Anne Coombe as annotated at the bottom of the picture) was one of two wives Mr Tippet had chosen for himself on 14 April 1862. Burton describes them thus: "The beauties were somewhat surly, they complained, like the sluggard, of too early waking and swore that they would do nothing in the way of work, industry being essentially servile" (p229).
