Description
Note: Als Nr. 74 publiziert im Album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuenburg 1895. - Bildlegende im Album: "Die Hauptstrasse von Agogo. - In der Stadt Agogo mussten wir im Jahre 1869 drei Wochen lang als Gefangene in Fesseln schmachten. Da unser Kindlein drei Tage nach der Abreise von hier starb, bleibt uns diese Stadt immer in trüber Erinnerung. Vor einem Jahre jedoch hatten wir die Freude, Agogo mit einem Catechisten besetzen zu dürfen." Note translation: Published as no 74 in the album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer' (= 'Eighty pictures of the Gold Coast (West Africa) by the missionary Fritz Ramseyer'), Neuchâtel 1895. - Caption there: "The main street of Agogo. We had to suffer as prisoners in shackles for three weeks in Agogo in 1869. Our little child died three days after leaving Agogo, so this is a town of sad memories for us. A year ago, however, we had the joy of being able to send a catechist to live there."
