Four missionary sisters stand in a crowd of over one hundred indigenous men, women, and children in front of a brick building. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "Boudewijnstad (Opper-Congo). Baudouinville (Haut-Congo). - Samenkomst des Zondags. - Reunion du Dimanche." ("Baudouinville (Upper-Congo). - Meeting of Sunday.") The back also contains information about the publisher, "Postulaten der Zusters Missionarissen van O.L.V. van Afrika. - (Witte Zusters) Herent (Br.) - Thielt (W.V.)," and information about the printer, "Ern. Thill, Brussel."
