“Sœurs de Ste. Marie de Manur, Leverville (Kwango). Sisters of St. Mary of Namur (Belgium). Oh! Les pagnes chamarrés! Cotton-Drawers of all colours!” Women are pictured in their brightly colored cotton dresses. Each woman wears a card bearing a number, probably as a form of identification. The caption is printed on the back of the postcard. There are several lines of handwriting in French on the back.
