Description
"Ein Schwarzer mit schlimmen Füßen (Die Löcher in den Füßen rühren von Sandflöhen her.)" ("An African man with bad feet (the holes in his feet stem from jigger fleas.)"). The patient is seated in front of a wall covered with a white sheet. His feet are elevated and put on a wooden box in order to present them. They are darker and bitten, especially between the toes.
The picture was probably taken by Johannes Schanz (1876-1963). He worked as a missionary of the Leipzig Mission in Moshi and Mamba from 1901 to 1910. -- The picture is a medical photograph, therefore the wall is covered with a white sheet.
