Description
Annotation translation: "Bonaku." Annotation: "Boanku." Note: Photograph war eventuell Gottlieb Krauss (1903-1907 in Kamerun). (AP). Note translation: The photographer was perhaps Gottlieb Krauss (1903-1907 in Cameroon). (AP). - As I read the German caption it is probably the baptism of one of the Lauffer children, but the German phrasing is not unambiguous. Above all: why are the young women all wearing the same cloth? Are they the ones who were baptised? But in that case why does the caption not refer to children in the plural? (PJ 03.2001).
