Description
"Blick vom Tafelberg auf Tafelbucht." ("View from Table Mountain of Table Bay."). The settlements below the mountain reach up to the shore. Fog in the background. In the lower left foreground an iron bar, which suggests that the picture was taken from a platform on the Table Mountain.
There is a thin white line across the right part of the picture. -- This picture was taken by Willibald Paul Schaberg (1900-?). He worked as a missionary in South Africa West, mostly in Elim. He married Elfriede Henriette Johanna Nigrin (born 1898) in Herrnhut near Dresden, Germany, in 1929. It is not known when and where he stopped working and died.
