"Zwei Kaffern, Dacha rauchend" ("Two Kaffirs, smoking Dacha [dagga?]"). Two men sitting on little chairs, wearing indigenous costumes with feathers, necklaces and headdresses. They are holding some objects in their hands and near their mouths (apparently, they are smoking something). In the background a hanging mat (maybe a bass). [L.H. Reichelt's photo album] -- The picture was probably taken between 1860 and 1870.
