Men in a tent by a fire

Handwritten text by Hans Findeisen (?) on the reverse: "Group of men in the tent by the fire. In the positions of the two central figures, also improvised by them without my intervention. The young man in the background is pouring something into a cup from a bottle that contains nothing: supposed to represent the pouring of schnapps. - The centre man from the front row, who is also standing under his wife's slipper, with an open packet of cigarettes in his hand. Recording Hans Findeisen." Red. Note: this text is on the back of the cardboard on the front of which the photograph was mounted. It is handwritten and, as far as we know so far, was probably written by Hans Findeisen during or shortly after his expedition in 1927/29. A search for a travelogue or other handwritten notes for the purpose of comparison in the archives of the Berlin Ethnological Museum is still pending (comment by Siegmar Nahser 9 August 2007).
