Summary
| Description |
English: Image of a Creole bania from the pre 1800 book Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Revolted Negroes of Suriname by Captain John Gabriel Stedman.
Researcher and author Christina R. Gaddy write about Stedman and his instrument in the book Well of Souls. The manuscript made by Stedman is lost (used as the basis of the book), and it isn't certain whether the printer looked at a banjo collected by Stedman to make this illustration or if Stedman provided a drawing. |
