Beschriftung Rückseite:
Dr. Leakey, curator of the Coryndon Museum, Nairobi, holding a plaster cast of a child's skull, estimated to be over 600,000 years old, the earliest man-like creature yet known. On the desk in front of him is a cast of the jaw-bone. Dr. Leakey announced in Washington on Friday the discovery, which was made in Olduvai George, Tanganyika, last year. He said the fractured skull was evidence of the oldest crime ever to come to light. He was positive the child was murdered. / The Dauly Telegraph published 27 Feb 1961 Art Department
