"54. Afrique (Dahomey) - Soeurs Missionnaires de Notre-Dame des Apotres en Promenade avec leurs Eleves." ("Missionary Sisters of our Lady of the Apostles walking with their students.") In front of a thatched-roof building, three missionary sisters pose with twenty-three Dahomean girls widely ranging in age. Most of the older girls stand near the building most of the children sit on the ground. The back of the postcard is blank and contains printed information about the publisher: "L'Oeuvre de la Propagation de la Foi soutient les Missions Catholiques du monde entier - Envoyer votre offrande par Cheques Postaux, Paris 618.25, Lyon 72.71 - Propagation de la Foi, Paris-5, rue Monsieur (VIIe), Lyon-12, rue Sala." ("The Work of the Propagation of the Faith supports the Catholic Missions of the whole world - To send your offering by Postal cheques, Paris 618.25, Lyon 72.71 - Propagation of the Faith, Paris-5, rue Monsieur (VIIe), Lyon-12, rue Sala.")
