"Mit den Händen wird der Verputz aufgetragen" ("They are putting on the plaster manually"). About fourteen young women are standing next to the wall of a building (apparently, the school building) and are putting plaster on the wall. Some of them are standing, others are ducked. Richard Paul Moths, born in 1872 in Kösen (Germany), was a carpenter. In 1899 he married Helene Ledoux. From 1900 till 1948 he worked as a missionary in South Africa East (Silo, Baziya, Tabase). He died in 1950 in South Africa. c.f. pictures nos. IMP-HRN-BOX-SAO-7-10182, -10183, -10184, -10186, -10187.
