Description

The total outlay in this celebration was about 4,000 dutch guilders. The man responsible went into debt for this." Annotation: "Am Totenfest wird das hinterlassene Vermögen dem Verstorbenen nachgeschickt, indem dieses verfestet wird. Die Gasamtauslagen an diesem Totenfest betrugen gegen viertausend holl. Gulden. Der Festveranstalter wurde dadurch ein verschuldeter Mann." Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
