Leider hat die liebenswürdige Frau keine eigenen Kinder, und weil sie sehr unter dem Alleinsein leidet, hat ihr der König die Aufsicht über die königlichen Töchter anvertraut. Jeden Morgen werden diese von unserer Königsfrau zur Schule gebracht. Im Schatten des Hauses sitzend erwartet die hohe Gouvernante ihre Pflegebefohlenen, bis der Unterricht zu Ende ist. Sie vertreibt sich dann die Zeit bis zum Schulschluss mit irgend einer kleinen Handarbeit: sie flickt Körbe, reiht Perlen an, schnitzt eine Kürbisflasche oder spinnt mit wunderbarem Geschick einen feinen Faden."

Every morning she brings them to school. And then she, who you might describe as a high governess, sits in the shadow of the house waiting for her charges till teaching has finished for the day. She fills in the time till the end of school with some small handwork - mending baskets, stringing beads, carving a calabash,. Or with amazing skill she spins a fine thread."  (A.

description: Note: In Pose (12.2000 PJ). - "Kämmerer als Jäger. Für die vornehmen Herren des Hofstaates sind die Jagdtage das schönste Vergnügen. Die Jagd geht im Dezember auf und dauert bis März. Wenn die Trockenzeit einsetzt, wird das hohe Gras, das dem scheuen Wild ein gelegener Zufluchtsort ist, dürr, und der Neger rückt dem unendlichen Grasmeer mit Feuer zu Leibe. Das Wild will sich natürlich aus dem brennenden Graswald retten, aber es läuft einer neuen Gefahr in die Arme, denn nicht planlos brennt der Neger die grossen Grasflächen ab, sondern so, dass für die erschreckten Tiere nur ein Ausgang bleibt, und bei diesem Ausgang laufen sie einer neuen Gefahr in die Arme, denn da stehen die Jäger, wohl ausgerüstet mit vergifteten Pfeilen und Speeren und erlegen nun herdenweise  das fliehende Wild, das Fleisch wird z.Teil frisch genossen, z.Teil über dem offenen Herdfeuer geräuchert, bis es zum unansehnlichen, steinharten, schwarzen Klumpen geworden ist, der, um zerbissen zu werden, wohl die guten Zähne der Neger verlangt." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: In pose (12.2000 PJ). -   Chamberlains as hunters.   For the noble gentlemen of the court, days spent hunting provide the greatest pleasure. Hunting starts in December and goes on till March. When the dry season starts the Africans set fire to the endless sea of high, dried-out grass which serves as a hiding place for many animals. The animals naturally try to save themselves from the fire, but rush straight into the arms of another danger - because the grass is not burned down at random, but in such a way that there is only one route of escape and that is where the hunters stand, armed with poisoned arrows, and spears. They kill the fleeing animals in great droves. The meat is partly eaten fresh, and partly smoked over the open fire, till it looks nasty, and amounts to black lumps as hard as stone, which need the good teeth of our Africans if they are to be bitten into.   (A. Wuhrmann 1917, "Commentaries on slides from Bamum",  K 366). - Peter Valentin notes that bows and arrows are rare in Bamum, so the bow and the quiver are probably Hausa or Fulani work. Note the elaborate "beaked" sandal. Hausa and Fulani arrows are mostly poisoned (strophantus). (PV 02.2002).

title: Spinnerin mit europäischem Spinnrad.

description: Note: "Ca. 1912." (Ch. M. Geary 1988:78). - "Spinnerin. In Kuti, der 'landwirtschaftlichen Versuchsstation' lebte in den Jahren 1913-15  ein deutscher Beamter, der 'das Herz auf dem rechten Fleck' hatte und die Eingeborenen wie gleichwertige Menschen behandelte. Er interressierte sich lebhaft für alles, was der Neger aus eigener Initiative fertig brachte und freute sich über alles was dem Schwarzen gelang. Er versuchte ohne aufdringlich zu sein den Neger auch für unsere Art zu arbeiten zu begeistern und brachte so viel Neues unter das Volk. Ein europäisches Spinnrad ist auch sein Geschenk. Zuerst wollten unsere Weiblein von dem surrenden und schnelllaufenden Ungetüm nichts wissen; es ging ihnen wohl zu schnell; aber nach und nach leuchtete ihnen das fremde Ding doch ein und mit fabelhafter Schnelligkeit erlernten die geschickten braunen Hände die Kunst unserer Grossmütter, und fröhlich surrend dreht sich nun täglich im hoch gelegenen Fumban das Rädchen,  das sich vor Jahrzehnten wohl im gemütlichen Stübchen einer nordeutschen Matrone gedreht hatte!" (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "c. 1912." (C.M. Geary 1988:78). - "Woman spinning. A German official lived in Kuti, the Agricultural Research Station, in 1913-1915. He was a good man. He treated the natives as his equals. He had a lively interest in everything which the Africans achieved on their own initiative and was enthusiastic about everything they managed to do. Without forcing it he tried to interest them in our ways of doing things, and so was responsible for initiating a lot of change. He presented a European spinning wheel to the people. At first our little [sic] women didn't want anything to do with this monster which hummed and went so fast. But by and by they realised what it could do for them, and then the clever brown hands learned our grandmothers' skills amazingly fast. And so this little wheel, which decades ago was turned in a comfortable sitting room by some North German lady now hums merrily away every day in our plateau town of Fumban." (A.
