Description
Note: Ähnliches Bild Cf. D-30.14.008. (PST). - Als Nr. 48 publiziert im Album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuenburg 1895. - Bildlegende im Album: "Abetifi. Das Missionshaus mit Garten. - Das freundliche Missionshaus besteht aus einem aus Stein und Erde errichteten Bau. Die Wände sind mit Kalk getüncht. Die Veranda schützt sowohl vor der brennenden Tropensonne, als vor dem starkem Platzregen. Das Dach ist mit Schindeln aus Oframholz gedeckt. Im Garten wachsen europäische Gemüse und Blumen: Rosen, Dahlien, Phlox, etc." Note translation: Similar photo D-30.14.008. (PST). - Published as no 48 in the album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer' (= 'Eighty pictures of the Gold Coast (West Africa) photographed by the missionary Fritz Ramseyer'), Neuchâtel 1895. - Caption in the album: "Abetifi. Mission house with garden. This friendly mission house is built of stone and earth. The walls have been whitewashed. The veranda gives shelter from the scorching tropical sun - but also from the heavy rain. The roof is covered with shingles made of Ofram wood. In the garden European vegetables grow, and European flowers - roses, dahlias, etc." - NB the caption in the French version ('Quatre-vingts vues...') is somewhat different: "This is the mission house again [the previous two images in the album also show this this building] but a close-up this time, showing the garden in which in which we can cultivate a good number of European vegetables like cabbages, beans, choux-pommes[?], salad etc. The wooden framework is made of Odum, the African oak, and the roof covered with shingles made of a soft yellow wood which is easy to work and which the locals call 'ofram'."
