"Ein Ofen auf der Station Humansdorp, wo Wärmflaschen für den Eisenbahnzug zurecht gemacht werden. Geschw. G. Reichel." ("A stove at the station of Humansdorp, where hot-water bottles are prepared for the railway train. Br[ethren G[ustav] Reichel."). The picture shows a man and a woman as well as a young man standing on the stairs of a stove or next to it. The stove is approximately two meters high and has a chimney. On its right are stairs. To its left is a big tree. On the right probably parts of the station buildings. Written on the card board: "Br. Baudert 1930." ("Br[other] Baudert 1930."). Gustav Theodor Reichel (1879-?) was a missionary in West Himalaya from 1908 to 1922 and then in South Africa West from 1923 to 1934. -- The picture was probably taken by Samuel Baudert (1879-1956), born as son of the missionary Samuel Baudert in South Africa. He was the mission director of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine from 1924 to 1927 and since 1929 their bishop. It might also be possible that the picture was taken by Eugen Theodor Baudert (1876-1953) who worked as a lecturer at the theological seminar in Mvenyane.
