Description
Note: Handschriftliche Bildlegende von Missionar Steudle, die möglicherweise dieses Bild betrifft: "Autounfall am 11. Nov. 1930 bei der Ankunft der Brüder Schneider + Schäfer in Bali. Das Auto, das senkrecht im Flüsschen stand wird bereits von Balischülern usw. auf die Strasse geschafft." Wilhelm Schneider war ab 1930 in Kamerun tätig, Schäfer wirkte dagegen in Ghana, es stellt sich daher die Frage ob Schäfer einen Besuch in Kamerun machte. In diesem Falle wäre das Bild fälschlicherweise in der Ghana-Reihe aufgenommen worden. (DS 10.2000)
Note translation: There is a ms caption from Rev. Steudle which may refer to this image. "Accident on 11th November 1930 as the brethren Schneider and Schäfer arrived in Bali. The car, which was standing vertically in the river, has already been pulled out onto the road by pupils of the Bali school." Wilhelm Schneider was active in Cameroon from 1930. Schäfer, on the other hand, was a missionary in Ghana. Was Schäfer visiting Schneider, or vica versa? If the former the image should not be among the Ghana pictures (DS. 10.2000).
Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
