title: A man responsible for supplying the King with foodstuffs.
title: Proviant Lieferant des Königs.

description: Note: "Proviant Lieferant. Nzi Monsu ist ein 'weitgereister' Herr! Aber nicht aus freiem Willen ist er bis hinunter nach Tinto gekommen, sondern als Gefangener der Regierung mit einer schweren Kette am Hals hat er nach Tinto in die Verbannung ziehen müssen. Er besitzt in Bamum ein schönes Gehöfte, hat viele Frauen und verfügt auch sonst noch über manches, was nicht jeder Neger besitzt. Er spricht unter Anderm auch leidlich Englisch. Nzoya übergab 'diese Perle' nun als Dolmetscher der Regierung. Da sollte er zwischen der Bevölkerung und den Beamten vermitteln und allfällige Wünsche der Europäer erfüllen. In diesem Dienst liess sich Nzi Monsu manche Unredlichkeit zu Schulden kommen, so, dass er z.B. Im Namen der Regierung bei der Bevölkerung Proviant verlangte, den er natürlich nicht bezahlte, wohl aber für sich behielt und mit seinen Frauen und Freunden bei frohen Gelagen verzehrte. Als die Betrügereien auskamen, blieb natürlich die Strafe auch nicht aus. '25 Peitschenhiebe und 3 Jahre Verbannung', so hiess das Urteil der Europäer. Sehr tragisch scheint Nzi Monsu seine Strafe nicht genommen zu haben, was wohl auch unser Bild bezeugen kann, denn es ist einige Tage nach der Heimkehr aus der Verbannung aufgenommen. Auf meine Frage, wie es ihm denn drunten in Tinto gegangen sei, kam die verblüffende Antwort: 'O es ging mir ganz gut; ich hatte jeden Tag genug zu essen.'" (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation:  The man who obtains provisions.  Nzi Monsu is a gentleman who has travelled widely. But he did not travel to Tinto of his own free will. He was a governmnet prisoner who had to go into banishment there with a heavy chain around his neck. He has a beautiful compound in  Bamum, with many wives, and has things at his disposal which by no means all Africans possess. Among other things he can make himself understood in English. Njoya handed over this pearl to the government as intepreter. His task was to mediate between the population at large and the officials, and to fulfil any wishes the Europeans might have of him. In this capacity Nzi Monsu was guilty of more than a little dishonesty. He demanded provisions in the name of the government, for which, of course, he did not pay. And then he kept them for himself and used them up in celebrations with his wives and friends. When this became known punishment naturally followed. The Europeans condemned him to  25 strokes of the whip and 3 years banishment . Nzi Monsu does not seem to have regarded this punishment in an especially tragic light. Our portrait indicates this too, for it was taken just a few days after his return from banishment. I asked him how he had got on in Tinto. His rather surprising answer was  O, it was all right. Every day I had enough to eat.       (A. Wuhrmann, 1917, Commentaries to Slides from Bamum, E-30-0,6.  K 367).

title: King Ndjoya's favourite wife, showing her skin tattoo.
title: Lieblingsfrau des Königs Ndjoya mit Tätowierung.

description: Note: "Kg. Ndj. Lieblingsfrau m. Tätowierung, Brustbild v. Vorne. König Njoya hat 500 Frauen [Satz unterstrichen]. Natürlich sind unter diesen solche, die er andern vorzieht, um irgend einer Tugend, eines äusseren Vorzugs oder um hohen Standes willen! Auch die Frau auf unserem Bilde gehört zu den Lieblingen der schwarzen Majestät. Sie hat auch etwas an sich, was sofort gewinnt, und ihre Losung ist sicher, ohne, dass sie es weiss: 'Immer fröhlich!' Auffallend ist bei diesem Bilde die kunstvolle Frisur der Frau! Es ist dies ein Kopfputz, dessen Herstellung manche Stunde Arbeit erfordert, der aber gewöhnlich nur alle 2-3 Monate erneuert wird. Im Antlitz und auf der Brust hat die Frau viele Tätowierungen. Diese tief eingeschnittenen Figuren sind der beliebteste und 'haltbarste' Schmuck unserer Frauen und Mädchen, und man muss sich oft wundern, wie kaltblütig unsere weibliche Jugend diese gewiss sehr schmerzhafte Prozedur an sich vollziehen lässt. In den Ohrläppchen trägt unsere Königsfrau etwa fingerdicke, 5-7 cm lange Pflöcke, die kunstvoll mit weissen oder bunten Glasperlen umwunden sind. Perlen sind überhaupt der Schmuck der Königsfrauen und Töchter, gewöhnliche Sterbliche tragen an Stelle der Perlenpfröpfe kleine Holzstückchen, Korke oder gar Nägel, Schrauben und Patronenhülsen." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "K[in]g Ndj[oya s] favourite wife, with tattoos on her skin, head and shoulders, seen from the front.  King Njoya has 500 wives. Naturally he prefers some of them to others on the basis of  their gifts, their appearance or their high parentage. The woman in this picture belongs to the favourites of His Black Majesty.  There is something about her one finds immediately attractive, and without her being aware of it we can say that her slogan is  Be happy! . You are immediately struck, on looking at this picture, by the skillful hair-arrangement. It takes hours to prepare, but is only renewed every 2-3 months. On her face and on her breast the woman has a lot of tattooing. These deeply cut figures are the favourite and most lasting  jewellery  which our women and girls possess, and one often admires how cold-bloodedly our female youth allows this undoubtedly painful procedure to be carried through on their bodies. Our King s wife wears 5-7 cm long plugs in her ears skilfully wound with white or coloured glass beads. Beads are characterstic costume jewellery for our King s wives and King s daughters. Ordinary women wear, instead of plugs decorated with glass beads, plugs of wood like cork, or even nails, screws and spent cartridges.  (A.

title: Nzinzie, the Hausa wife of King Ndjoya.
title: Nzinzie, Hausafrau des Königs Ndjoya.

description: Note: "Haussafrau Nzinzie Brustbild v. d. Seite. Nzinzie, die Königsfrau stammt von Banjo. Banjo ist eine grosse Mohamedanerstadt etwa 250 km nördlich v. Bamum. Dort ist Nzinzie aufgewachsen. Als Tochter eines königlichen Beamten hörte sie wohl ab u. zu auch von Nzoya, dem mächtigen König, sprechen, und es erwachte in ihr der heisse Wunsch, den berühmten Häuptling zu sehen und zu sprechen. Kaum erwachsen, verliess sie mit einigen Sklavinnen ihr Vaterhaus, reiste auf mühsamen Wegen in 8 Tagen nach Fumban und liess sich beim Häuptling Nzoya melden. Alles was sie hörte und sah, gefiel ihr so ausserordentlich gut, dass sie Heimat und Elternhaus, Verwandte und Freunde darüber vergass und sich dem Bamumkönig als Frau anbot. Selbstredend hat Nzoya sie nicht ausgeschlagen, sondern sie gerne angenommen und sie, wohl um ihres hohen Standes willen zu Ehren gebracht und zu einer seiner Hauptfrauen gemacht. Leider hat die Mohamedanerin auf den königlichen Gemahl keinen guten Einfluss. Sie lässt kein Mittel unversucht, um ihn von der Mission zu entfernen und um dem Christentum zu schaden. Sie ist ein überaus begabter Mensch, braucht aber leider ihre Fähigkeiten zu Intrigen und Lügen, die schon viel Verdruss und Unglück angerichtet haben!" (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation:  The Hausa woman Nzinzie, head and shoulders from the side.  [NB the German word for  woman  is the same as the German word for  wife , and as we shall see this woman is, indeed, one of Njoya s wives. PJ].   Nzinzie, the King s wife, comes from Banjo. Banjo is a large muslim town about 250 Km. north of Fumban. Nzinzie grew up there. She was the daughter of a royal official, and so every now and again she heard people talk about Njoya, the mighty King. The strong desire developed in her to see this famous chief and to speak to him. She was scarcely adult when she left her father s house, accompanied by a few female slaves, and travelled eight days on difficult trails to reach Fumban and announce her arrival to chief Njoya. Everything which she heard and saw pleased her so extraordinarily much that she forgot her home town and her parent s house, her friends and her relatives, and offered herself to the Bamum king as his wife. Naturally Njoya did not refuse this offer but took her willingly, and presumably because of her high rank  gave her honour and made her to be one of his chief wives. Unfortunately this muslim woman has no good influence on her royal husband. She uses every means at her disposal to estrange him from the Mission, and to damage the cause of christianity. She is a gifted person but uses her capacities for intrigue and manipulation, and has already caused a lot of grief and unhappiness.   (A.
