Title	Mamunon, a daughter of the King.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Königs-Tochter Mamunom.
Description	Note: "Königstochter Mamunom Brustbild v.d. Seite. Von der Schülerin 'Tabea Mamunom' hat die Lehrerin nur Gutes zu berichten. Tabea ist von den 86 Schulmädchen das einzige, das in langen Jahren nie hat gescholten werden müssen. Immer war Tabea zur rechten Zeit an ihrem Platz, immer waren Kleider und Körper rein, immer kam sie, mit allen Lehrmitteln wohlversehen, an und immer war ihr Benehmen lobenswert. Ihre Arbeit war tadellos und was sie z.B. an Handarbeiten ablieferte, war musterhaft. Sie hatte für die 'frohe Botschaft' der Missionare ein offenens Ohr und, was mehr ist, ein offenes Herz, und war in jeder Beziehung eine Zierde der Missionsschule. Sie besuchte den Taufunterricht, konnte aber, da sie noch zu jung war, (höchstens 11 J. alt) nicht getauft werden. Der Krieg hat auch der Arbeit an diesem Kind ein jähes Ende gemacht, aber dem Wirken des heiligen Geistes vermag das Ringen der Völker keinen Einhalt zu tun." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: The King s daughter Mamunom, head and shoulders from the side. Teacher can only give good reports about her pupil Tabea Mamunom . Tabea is the only one of 86 schoolgirls who, in the long years the teacher was in Fumban, never had to be scolded. She was always in her place at the proper time, her clothes and body clean, with the schoolbooks she needed. Her behaviour was always praiseworthy. Her work was impeccable, and the hand-work she did was a model. She had an open ear for the Good News brought by the missionaries - and what was more she had an open heart. She was, in every respect, an adornment for our school. She attended baptismal instruction, but since she was too young (at most 11 years old) she could not be baptised. The war has brought our work on this child to a violent end but the workings of the Holy Spirit will not be halted by this struggle between the peoples. (A. Wuhrmann, 1917, Commentaries to Slides from Bamum, E-30-0,6. K 353).
