Description
Annotation translation: "Twenty years ago the German traveller Zintgraff, 4 Europeans and many Bali warriors set out to inflict military punishment on Bandeng. But Guafo won the battle through a trick and killed the four Europeans and many Bali. Zintgraff just managed to escape. Now Guafo is a friend of Germany." - "Vollbehr art postcards, Cameroon." - "[He] was one of the first to take on English rule again [sic]." - "Sole supplier: Basel Mission Trading Company, Duala, Cameroon."
