Original half page from a Victorian photo album with Anglo-Zulu War images front and back (image size approx 8 x 6 ins). One side shows a view of the Fort Melvill at Rorke's Drift, looking across the Mzinyathi river from the Zulu bank. The stone walls of the fort are clearly visible, while the old post at the mission station is just visible on the horizon to the left.
On the reverse is a photo of the battlefield of iSandlwana, likely taken in 1879 after the campaign concluded, with battlefield debris visible bottom left.
Note - the blue tint on the images is from the scanning process and does not affect the photographs themselves in any way.
