A woman carries a large bundle of sticks and a basket on her head while a crouching man tends to a barrel covered in large leaves. A young child sits nearby. The back of the postcard is blank, with a printed address for the publisher: "Ste des Missions Evangeliques, 102, Bd Arago, Paris." The Société des Missions Evangéliques was a Protestant organisation known in English as the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society.
