Description
Note: "Königstochter Tabea Manuore [sic!]. Die Häuptlingstochter Tabea Manuore ist ein überaus feinfühlender Mensch. Sie hat in ihrem ganzen Auftreten, ja, man möchte beinahe sagen, auch in ihrem Äusseren, nichts, das an die Plumpheit der Neger erinnert. Sie ist seit ca. 3 Jahren (März 1914) verheiratet und nun auch schon Mutter eines reizenden Bübleins, das der ganze Stolz von Vater und Mutter ist." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6). - Name gemäss Wuhrmann A., 1917: Königstochter Tabea Manuore, bzw. Maruore. Note translation: The King s daughter Tabea Manuore. The chief s daughter Tabea Manuore is very sensitive. Her whole way of approaching you, indeed her whole apprearance, has nothing of the bluntness [or cruditiy] you expect from Africans. She has been married for 3 years since March 1914 and is now the mother of a quite charming little son, who is, in his turn, the pride of his father and mother. (A. Wuhrmann, 1917, Commentaries to Slides from Bamum, E-30-0,6. K 350).
