Naval surgeon's Anglo-Zulu War images to be sold at auction
The photographs belonged to, and may have been taken by, a naval surgeon, the late Sir Henry Norbury, who served in the 1879 war, which ended the Zulu nation's independence.
Sir Henry was later honorary surgeon to Kings Edward and George.
The album, which was given to Sir Henry by his wife Mina in 1868, for his birthday, includes photographs of female witch doctors, Zulu warriors, British camps, ships, and landscapes.
It has remained in the Dorset-based family of Sir Henry and is being sold at George Kidner Auctions, Lymington, Hants, on Nov 20.
