Description
"Gehilfenschüler in Gnadenthal und Graf Zeppelin." ("Pupils of the assistants' school in Genadendal and Count Zeppelin."). The picture shows five male African students. Two are standing in the front, holding a magazine which shows a picture of Count Zeppelin on the cover. All of them seem to be reading inside the magazine. The two boys in front are wearing white shirts, the others dark shirts, and two wear a cap. Imprinted on the image: "2177".
Ferdinand Adolf August Heinrich Graf von Zeppelin, born in Konstanz in 1838, was the founder of the Zeppelin airship company. He died in 1917.
