Description
„Tabase. Vor der Hütte heidnischer Kaffern/ Heidnische Kaffern vor ihrer Hütte“ (“Tabase. In front of a hut of heathen Kaffirs/ heathen Kaffirs in front of their huts“). Approximately five people (among them children) are sitting or standing in front of a round hut. They are wearing indigenous clothing. Domestic animals (chicken, pigs and dogs) are around the hut. An older woman is sitting in the foreground, wearing a headdress and indigenous clothing.
Richard Paul Moths, born in 1872 in Kösen (Germany), was a carpenter. In 1899 he married Helene Ledoux. From 1900 till 1948 he worked as a missionary in South Africa East (Silo, Baziya, Tabase). He died in 1950 in South Africa.
