An indigenous man sits on a log and carves wooden statues with various tools. In the background children are sitting under a house elevated on posts. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "Missions Maristes d'Oceanie. - 13 - Art indigene Sculpteur salomonais." ("Marist Missions of Oceania. - 13 - Indigenous Art Sculptor of the Solomon Islands.") The Marists were a Catholic missionary order. The back also contains information from the publisher: "Editions Procure, 123, Chemin de Choulans, Lyon."
