Boy making a rope, Pare, Tanzania, ca. 1927-1938

"Wie man im Paregebirge Stricke dreht" ("How ropes are made in the Pare Mountains"). A boy dressed in torn European clothes and a cap sitting on the ground and holding a rope with his toes. Wilhelm Guth (1888-1980), from Zeiskam in the Rhineland Palatinate, studied commerce before joining the Leipzig Mission as a pastor. He served in Gonja (southern Pare) from 1913 to 1917 and from 1927 to 1938. He left a large number of photographs, mostly taken by himself but including some by members of his family or fellow missionaries.
