Samuel White Baker (1821-1893), English explorer and anti-slavery campaigner, c1880. With Speke and Grant, Baker helped to establish the location of the sources of the Nile. In 1864 he reached and named Lake Albert Nyanza between Uganda and Zaire. In 1869 he commanded a military expedition ordered by the Khedive of Egypt to the equatorial regions of the Nile with the objectives of suppressing the slave trade and opening up the territory to commerce. He is pictured here making a blood pact with King Rionga during the expedition.
