Scope and content
The photo shows Cornelius Wiebe and [his wife Katharina] standing in front of their home in Bergthal. A second man is standing on the left and a cat is sitting in front of the door. The house and neighbouring structure [which appears to be a kitchen because of a protruding chimney] are made of clay bricks with corrugated metal roofs. The main house appears [to have an upper floor]. Several large tree branches are leaning against the roof acting as trellises for large vining plants.
