Type of title	translation
Original caption	Hauptstrasse in Abetifi. Platz, wo wir als Gefangene dem König von Abetifi vorgestellt wurden, 1869.
Description	Note: Als Nr. 44 publiziert im Album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuenburg 1895. - Bildlegende im Album: "Die Stadt Abetifi. - Abetifi, wenn auch nicht eigentlich die Residenz des Königs - er wohnt in Abene, 1 1/2 Stunde davon entfernt - ist doch die Hauptstadt der Provinz. Die Ansicht zeigt die Hauptstrasse, die, weil sehr unregelmässig gebaut und mit sehr felsigem Boden, keinen angenehmen Eindruck macht. Mitten auf dieser Strasse wurden im Juli 1869 die gefangenen Missionare den versammelten Häuptlingen und Einwohnern vorgestellt." - Veröffentlicht (HB, März 1894).; Note translation: Published as no 44 in the album 'Achtzig Ansichten von der Goldküste (Westafrika) nach Originalaufnahmen des Missionars Fritz Ramseyer', Neuchâtel 1895. (RI). - Caption in the album: "The town of Abetifi. - Though the king's residence is not in Abetifi - he lives in Abene, 1 1/2 hours away - Abetifi is the capital of the province. The picture shows the main road which doesn't appear to be very pleasant since it is built on stony ground and is very uneven. In the middle of this street the imprisoned missionaries were introduced to the congregated chiefs and inhabitants in July 1869." - Published (HB, March 1894).
