| Title | Manuscript folio, observations concerning Lake Nyasa including a pencil sketch of a fish called a "sanjika", by David Livingstone |
| Date | c.1868 - 1870 |
| Document Type | Illustration |
| Author | Livingstone, David |
| Theme | Literature and Poetry; Travel and the World |
| Description | Livingstone first visited Lake Nyasa (also known as Lake Malawi) on 17 September 1859, claiming its discovery. It is likely, however, that this folio, with its sketch of a fish described by Livingstone as a "sanjika", dates from his last journeys when he skirted the southern edge of the lake on his way to Lake Tanganyika. |
