A number of vendors are outside in an open area selling food and other items. Some vendors are walking around with their goods, carrying them on their heads, while others are stationed on the ground. There are also buildings nearby the vendors. The back of the postcard is blank with a caption and printed information about the mission agency: "This is a Sample of the New Coloured Postcards of the W.M.M.S. There are Four Series: M. China. O. West Africa. P. India. Q. India. Each Card has a few words of explanation on the address side. Each packet contains Six Cards. Price 4d. per packet (by post 5d.) 3/- per doz. packets (post free). We think these will be appreciated by postcard collectors, for framing purposes, for greeting to juvenille collectors, and for general use, as well as for re-selling by missionary traders at a profit. All orders and P.O O.'s to Home Organization Department, W.M.M.S., 17, Bishopsgate Street within, London, E.C." (Methodist Missionary Society)
