Description
Photograph showing a pair of oxen pulling out a car stuck in mud. Two men are next to the oxen. Another man is visible sitting in the car. Handwriting on the back reading: "Auto im Dreck stecken geblieben. Wenn es einmal regnet in Afrika. Der sonst steinharte Lehmboden ist tief aufgeweicht – das Land ist dann unpassierbar. Die Autos sacken bis an die Achsen ein. Der Lehm ist aufgeweicht wie Butter. 6 Ochsen vermochten diesen Wagen nicht herauszuziehen." ("Car stuck in mud. When it rains in Africa. The otherwise adamant loamy soil is deeply softened. The cars sink in to the axles. The loam is softened like butter. 6 oxen were not capable to pull this car out.")
