Large, coloured print by George Baxter shows Moffat, the Scottish Methodist missionary and explorer, in a South African landscape with groups of local inhabitants in the background. The print reflects the interest in Moffat, who returned to Britain from Africa in the years 1839-1843, during which he published his "Missionary Labours and Scenes in South Africa" (1842); the book also had a Baxter print frontispiece, with a different image.
