A dead leopard is being carried by two men, the cat's legs tied to a pole slung between them. A small child holds the cat's tail, while a Catholic missionary father and a large brick building are visible in the background. The back of the postcard has no handwriting on it. Printed in the correspondence section is "Mission des RR. PP. Jesuites au Kwango. Kwango-Missie der EE PP Jezuiten in Kongo." "Une belle capture: leopard. Vergiftigde luipaard."
