Title	"The missionary doctor Frobenius in Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land, surrounded by Papua warriors." [Caption on image].
Type of title	translation
Original caption	"Der Missionsarzt Dr. Frobenius in Kaiser-Wilhelmsland von Papua-Kriegern umringt." [Legende im Bild].
Description	Annotation translation: [Text on the rear of the card]: "Missionary doctors, as well as ordinary missionaries, work among non-christians, for example among the cannibal Papuas of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Land. These superstitious heathens thought at first the missionaries were spirtis, and murdered two of them. But the tireless patience of these white men, and especially the love they showed in looking after these savages when they were sick, binding their wounds and giving them "good water", as they call medicines, and especially the way they looked after them when a smallpox epidemic was raging, gradually called forth a spirit of love and trust to the strangers in their hearts. And then, to their astonishment, the missionary doctor Frobenius put one of these savages in his own bed to care for him, and at that point all suspicion vanished, and they opened their ears and their hearts to the Gospel. And the missionaries can go into assemblies of armed warriors with no danger at all." - Probably from just before the First World War (PJ 07.2002).; Annotation: "[Auf der Rückseite der Karte steht gedruckt:] Unter den Heiden arbeiten neben den Missionaren auch Missionsärzte und Aerztinnen; so auch unter den Kannibalen in Kaiser-Wilhelmsland den Papuas. Diese abergläubischen Heiden hielten anfänglich die Missionare für Geister und ermordeten zwei derselben. Aber die unermüdliche Geduld dieser weissen Männer, und besonders die Liebe, mit der sie sich der Wilden in ihren Krankheitsnöten annahmen, ihre Wunden verbanden, ihnen die 'guten Wasser', wie sie die Arzneien nennen, darreichten, und sie besonders, während die Pocken wüteten, pflegten, erweckte in den Herzen der Schwarzen Liebe und Vertrauen zu den Fremdlingen. Als zu ihrem grossen Erstaunen der Missionsarzt, Dr. Frobenius, einmal einen solchen kranken Wilden in sein eigenes Bett legte und verpflegte, da war alles Misstrauen geschwunden, und sie öffneten nun auch williger Ohr und Herz dem Evangelium. Die Missionare konnten sich nun ohne Lebensgefahr selbst in die Mitte bewaffneter Krieger begeben."
