Description
Note: "Nr. 45 [QC-30.016.0039]. Eine interessante Küstenpartie in der Nähe des Platze, welche eine gute Vorstellung gibt von dem Charakter der Küste. Die buschumwachsene hochgemauerte Plattform gehört zum Gut des verstorbenen Mr. Blennen [Entzifferung unklar], Master Attendant der Tellitschery ... [Entzifferung unklar]. Die Phantasie mag in dem überhängenden Buch zur Linken ein scharfes Profil eines Indianers entdecken." (3. Quartalsbericht 06.10.1860: 5). Note translation: "Nr. 45 [QC-30.016.0039]. An interesting part of the coast near the open space, which fives a good impression of the character of the coast. The overgrown platform belongs to the property of the deceased Mr. Brenner, Master Attendant of Tellicherry [reading of the last part of this sentence uncertain]. If you use your imagination you can see, in the tree hanging over the edge of the platform the sharp profile of an american Indian." (C.G. Richter's 3. Quarterly report 06.10.1860: 5).
