- Summary:
- "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."
