“Missions Salesiennes. Congo Belge 1. 6. Position à la hauteur mais …instable.” A toddler looks a bit unstable while riding on the shoulders of a woman who also supports a basket hanging from her back. Both child and adult are draped with capes, possibly made from animal hide. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: “Procure des Missions Salesiennes. C.C.P. Lyon, 589.17 9, chemin de Fontaniere, La Mulatiere (Rhone).” There is no handwriting on the back.
