The elephant trainer is seen standing next to the agreeable animal. The caption and following information are printed on the back of the postcard: "Congrégation des Filles de la Croix de Liége. Congregatie de Dochters van het Kruis te Luik. Maison-mère - Moederhuis: rue Hors-Château, 49. Mission des Indes Orientales. Missie van Oost Indië. Ern. Thill, Bruxelles."
