"Elim. Ein Esel auf der Werf." ("Elim. A donkey on the mission premises."). The picture shows a donkey. On the right in the background geese. On the left in the background a power pole. Next to it a child of African origin. Tree houses and trees in the background. Written on the card board: "Br. Baudert 1930." ("Br[other] Baudert 1930.").; The word "Werf" is a term taken from Afrikaans. -- The picture was probably taken by Samuel Baudert (1879-1956), born as son of the missionary Samuel Baudert in South Africa. He was the mission director of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine from 1924 to 1927 and since 1929 their bishop. It might also be possible that the picture was taken by Eugen Theodor Baudert (1876-1953) who worked as a lecturer at the theological seminar in Mvenyane.
