[Boccaccio]

This ancient (well, 2012) collection of slave market scenes - some of them very well done - may have escaped the attention of many.

Sadly the Zanzibar slave market scene from the Crosby-Hope film "Road to Zanzibar" must have ended on the cutting room floor.

Good bump, Boccaccio.
Very nice slave market scenarios.

 

[Madiosi]

I never knew, that @Boccaccio is a treasure digger.

Its a pity that the Zanzibar slave market is now just a tourist attraction. On the other hand, one could make it way more popular if one reintroduced slave sales there.
Just a thought.

All it needs is some slaves. A pit like this one accommodated up to 75 slaves. It must have been unbearable! Hot, humid and very, very smelly.

Stand on Zanzibar, buy on Zanzibar, sell on Zanzibar!

The book and author are new to me. I'll stick to the slave trading.
