Very rare photo (glass plate negative) that shows a German soldier holding an early camera between East African tribesmen. We have not yet identified the camera nor do we know who took the photograph.The Arab / Swahili man sitting on a little chair in the second photo is probably a chief. This photo was developed from an original glass negative in our collection.
