Account written by Swiss missionaries about a visit to the Barotse king Lubosi Lewanika (1842-1916). The publication does not establish which missionary society issued it but it could be argued it was most likely produced by the Paris Evangelical Mission who under François Coilard set up mission stations in Barotseland. The information in the booklet does allow to establish it was printed by Sadag (Société Anonyme des Arts Graphiques Genève, 1894-1932) created by Frédéric Thévoz and best known for printing albums of photographs and illustrated newspapers.
