A Catholic missionary sister is seated outdoors with several rows of children in Western clothing. All hold small objects of stick and twine in hand. The back of the postcard has no handwriting on it. Printed in the margin of the correspondence section is "Ursuline Convent Simon's Town Cape Prov. (South Africa)" "Mere M. Baptista apprenant aux enfants a confectionner de petits objets avec une espece de paille du Cap. Voyez, les garcons l'attachent a leurs doitgs de pieds."
