"Mündung des Groote Revier." ("Estuary of the Great River."). The picture shows the estuary of a river. On the right hills and mountains in the background the sea. Written on the card board: "Br. Baudert 1930." ("Br[other] Baudert 1930."). "Groote Revier" means "Great River" in English. It is not clear what the river is called today. -- The picture was probably taken by Samuel Baudert (1879-1956), born as son of the missionary Samuel Baudert in South Africa. He was the mission director of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine from 1924 to 1927 and since 1929 their bishop. It might also be possible that the picture was taken by Eugen Theodor Baudert (1876-1953) who worked as a lecturer at the theological seminar in Mvenyane.
