Description
Photograph of eight African children and one woman. They are wearing European clothes, partly torn and stained. Handwriting on the back reading: "Zahlreiche Familien. Trotz zahlreicher Verfallserscheinungen unter den Schwarzen ist immer noch ein gesunder Wille zur großen, kinderreichen Familie vorhanden. Kinderlose Ehen sind undenkbar, sie sind nach altem Recht Grund zur Scheidung. Dieses ist ja zu erkennen." ("Numerous families. Besides many signs of deterioration there still exists a healthy will among the blacks to have big families with many children. Marriages without children are unthinkable, according to ancient law they are a reason to divorce.")
