"1879-1904 - dedicated to their honoured and much-loved teacher, Pastor Adolf Kinzler, on the 25th Anniversary of the commencement of his teaching [in the Mission College in Basel], from his former students in China.
Note: "Album: Oberste Seminarklasse 1879-1904 mit Lehrern, Fotos der obersten Klassen im Missionshaus 1890-1907 mit Lehrern."; Note translation: "Album: [Group portraits of the] senior class in the Mission Seminary 1879-1907, with their teachers."; Note: "Das Album selbst scheint japanischen Ursprungs zu sein (Fujiama), die Schrift auf der ersten Albumseite und die Missionsstation deuten auf China."; Note translation: The album itself seems to have been made in Japan (Fujiyama), but the texts on the first page indicate use in China. - NB the link between the pictures and the captions is obscure to me. But evidently for many pictures a full list of those portrayed is available. (PJ 07.2002).
