Description
Annotation translation: "The palace is 81.60.m wide and 150 m. long. The palace is, like the church, made of the ribs of the leaves of the raphia palm and swish. The Basel Mission Church was built by 1000 natives in one day. In the foreground a fetish drum." - "Vollbehr Art Postcard, Cameroon." Annotation: "Der Palast ist 81,60m breit und 150m lang.

Im Vordergrunde liegt eine Götzentrommel." - "Vollbehr-Künstlerpostkarten 'Kamerun'." Note: Vorlage: Aquarell von Ernst Vollbehr. Note translation: The original was a water-colour by Ernst Vollbehr.
