School in High Safwa. Painted people, Tanzania, [s.d.]

"Schule in Hoch-Safwa. Sie haben sich bemalt mit braunen Kreuzen zu meiner Ehre" ("School in High Safwa. They have painted theirselves with brown crosses to my honour"). A group of people standing in rows. The younger ones are standing on the left side, the older ones on the right. Their faces are painted. Some are wearing necklaces. (It seems like they are singing and dancing.) In front of them a man is standing and moving a stick in his hand. (Maybe he is conducting the group.); [66 black-and-white photographs]; Samuel Baudert (1879-1956), born as son of the missionary Samuel Baudert in South Africa, was mission director of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine from 1924 to 1927 and since 1929 their bishop.
