Description
"Hornbostel und Frau auf der Fahrt Addis - Aira" ("Hornbostel and wife on the journey Adis - Ayra"). Photograph of several persons standing on or around a truck. In the foreground a group of Ethiopians with mules are visible. Separate note reading: "Frau Hornbostel und Dietrich kommen in Aira an. Bruder [H]ornbostel hatte mir vom Birbir einen heimlichen Boten geschickt, um einen würdigen Empfang vorzubereiten. Als sie auch am zweiten Tag nicht eintrafen, fürchtete ich, sie seien auf der Birbirbrücke eingebrochen und ritt ihnen entgegen. Unterwegs traf ich Grasmatsch Kebede. So war der bei der ersten Begrüssung zugegen" ("Mrs. Hornbostel and Dietrich arrive in Ayra. Brother [H]ornbostel had sent to me a secret messenger from the Birbir, in order to prepare a decent welcoming. As they had not yet arrived even on the second day, I feared they had broken into the Birbir bridge and I rode towards their direction. On the way I met Grazmach Kebede. So he was there at the first welcome"). Cf. picture no. ELM/AE/Fotos - 920.
