Description
Annotation translation: "A sea of oil-palms lied at our feet. Only when the [Cameroon] Northern Railway is built as far as this area can these precious raw materials be turned to use. The Mbo Plains are enclosed by high mountains." - "Vollbehr Art Postcards, Cameroon." Annotation: "Ein Meer von Ölpalmen liegt uns zu Füssen. Erst wenn die Nordbahn bis hierher weitergebaut ist, wird eine nutzbringende Verwertung dieser kostbaren Rohprodukte stattfinden können. Die Mboebene ist umschlossen von hohen Gebirgsmassen." - "Vollbehr-Künstlerpostkarten 'Kamerun'." Note: Vorlage: Aquarell von Ernst Vollbehr. Note translation: The original was a water-colour by Ernst Vollbehr.
