Photograph of wagons at the side of the road in the Colony of Natal. There are two wagons parked alongside each other at the edge of a rough road. A man and a woman are sitting outside the wagon to the left and a group of men are gathered to the right of the other wagon. There is a tent to the far left and hills can be seen in the distance. 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.
