Title	10. Suspension bridge over a forest river.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	10. Hängebrücke über einen Urwaldfluss.
Description	Annotation translation: "The indigenous people build suspension bridges over the rivers, made of creepers. These bridges must often be fixed high in the trees, so that the centre of the bridge remains clear of the river even during the rainy season, when the water is high. "Vollbehr art postcards 'Cameroon'. " "Sales exclusively from the Basel Mission Bookshop, Duala, Cameroon."; Annotation: "Die Eingeborenen bauen aus Lianenwurzeln Hängebrücken über die Flüsse. Diese müssen oft hoch in den Bäumen angebracht werden, damit der Mittelpunkt zur Regenzeit, wenn die Flüsse hoch angeschwollen sind, nicht ins Wasser taucht." - "Vollbehr-Künstlerpostkarten 'Kamerun'." - "Alleinvertrieb: Basler Missionshandlung, Duala (Kamerun)."; Note: Vorlage: Aquarell von Ernst Vollbehr. - Von Prof. T. A. Freyvogel, Tropeninstitut Basel erhalten.; Note translation: "Original: water-colour by Ernst Vollbehr".; Stamped: "-- Mai 1975."
