“6 – Un petit chinois moribund baptize dans la rue.” A missionary father baptizes a dying child in the street. The child is held by a woman, possibly the mother, and attended by three other young women and a girl. The missionary father carries on his bicycle a case with the materials for anointing. The following information is also printed on the back of the card: “Procure des Missions. Bulletin ‘Chine, Ceylan, Madagascar’. Lille, 73, rue des Stations. Téléph. 60.42. Ch. Post. 134. Les Impr. Réunies, 49, rue de Canteleu. Lille.” There is no handwriting on the back.
