"One of the sons of Onnese Obi Osai chief of Aboh, River Niger", drawn by John Duncan, 1840-42. Inside front cover of the medical and surgical journal of His Majesty's Steam Ship Albert, by J. O. McWilliam, MD, surgeon. The Albert explored the course of the Niger River from 1841. The illustration appears to have been cut from a published source and pasted inside the journal. Beneath it is a written note 'Ali Hare came on board accompanied by a dozen little boys, who seemed to be nearly coeval [the same age]. These were sons of [the] Obi."
