Photograph of a farm house in the Colony of Natal. The building has a thatched roof and a veranda. People are sitting on the veranda and two women are standing in front of the house. There is a garden in the foreground and trees behind. The Colony of Natal was a British colony in south-eastern Africa. This photograph was taken during the Anglo-Zulu War (1879), which ended the independence of the neighbouring Zulu Kingdom and brought it under British control.
