A widow in front of her hut, Msangano, Tanzania, 1937

1937

"Witwe vor ihrer Witwenhütte in Musangano." ("A widow in front of her widow's hut in Musangano.") An old woman is crouching in front of a round thatched hut. On the right: everyday utensils. A bowl-like object is lying on the roof. Ernst Hermann Schnabel (1904-1953) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine and served in East Africa until the end of the 1930s. In 1934, he married Käthe Prellwitz in Kyimbila.
