Description
Annotation translation: "Bombe. School pupils."
Annotation: "Bombe, Schüler."
Note: Bombe liegt nicht am Wuri, sondern am Mungo. Mangamba dagegen liegt am Wuri. Es handelt sich hier also wohl eher um Mangamba. Vergleiche dazu auch die Photos E-30.20.017-19. (PJ 07.1997).
Note translation: Bombe is on the River Mungo, not the Wuri. Mangamba was the inland mission station on the Wuri. So in spite of the annotation's reference to Bombe, this is probably a photograph from the Mangamba area. See the similar photographs E-30.20.017-19. (PJ 07.1997).
