Ambatovinaky with the Lutheran Church and school, Antananarivo, Madagascar, ca.1875

"NMS Den nordvestlige Del af Antananarivo med den norske Missions Kirke og Skolehus" ("NMS the northwestern part of Antananarivo with the Norwegian Mission Church and school building"). Somebody has also printed this text to the image: -- "Vaar nye kirke og skolehus, Ambatovinaky. Oeverst til venstre mellom traerne skimtes London- misjonens trykkeri paa Imarivolanitra" (Our new Church and school building, Ambatovinaky. Up to the left between the trees we can see the Printing press House of the London Mission at Imarivolanitra"). There are still old woodhouses to be seen in the picture. A similar image is printed as a xylograph in "Norsk Missions Tidende" 1979 page 457. -- The church was inaguarated in 1875. It was build by T. Rosaas and J. Engh
