"Elim. Christliche Eingeborene." ("Elim. Christian Natives."). The picture shows a group of seven men and three women of African and Euopean and probably mixed origin.

Only one man of the group on the left is of clearly European origin. The group stands in front of the window of a house. On the right plants. Imprinted on the image: "christl. Eingeborene Elim.
