Description
Note: "Reise nach Subramania. Oeffentliches Verkehrsauto m. Türkenfrauen (Abteil hinten), ein Türke sitzt als Hüter davor." (C-30-0,3). Note translation: "Journey to Subramania. Public transport car with Turkish women (in the compartment behind), and a Turk sitting in front to look after them." (C-30-0,3). - There seems to be no indication why the women are designated "Turkish". Is this an ironic indication that they were Indian women in purdah? (PJ 03.2001). Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
