"Sales exclusively from the Basel Mission Bookshop, Duala, Cameroon." Annotation: "Im Abenddunst liegt in weiter duftiger Ferne der kleine und der grosse Kamerunberg. In das grosse Strombecken des Kamerunflusses schieben sich Mangrovenwälder hinein und im Vordergrunde schaut man dunkle Silhouetten von zerfetzten Bananenstauden." - "Vollbehr-Künstlerpostkarten 'Kamerun'." - "Alleinvertrieb: Basler Missionshandlung, Duala (Kamerun)."
