Description
Annotation translation: "Victoria has the most beautiful harbour in the whole world, because the volcanic slopes of Cameroon Mountain (more than 4,000 m high) rise directly from the sea and are covered [to the tree line] with cocoa plantations and jungle." - "Vollbehr Art Postcards Cameroon." Annotation: "Der Hafen von Viktoria ist der schönste der ganzen Welt, denn direkt aus dem Meere steigt über 4000m der mit Kakaoplantagen und mit Urwald bis hoch hinauf bestandene vulkanische Kamerunberg empor"' - "Vollbehr-Künstlerpostkarten 'Kamerun'." Note: Vorlage: Aquarell von Ernst Vollbehr, datiert 1912. Note translation: The original was a water-colour by Ernst Vollbehr.
