“Serie XII – Han-kow – Il ‘Convento italiano’ delle Missionarie Canossiane: a unne al lavoro.” (“A Nun at work.”) Young girls at the convent at Han-kow [Wuhan] are shown working at a table making artificial silk flowers. Bouquets and single flowers hang from wires above the work area. A missionary sister provides instruction at a separate table. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: “A beneficio dell’ Associazione Nazionale per soccorrere italiani i Missionari (riconosciuta in Ente Morale) ̶ Segretariato Generale: Torino 4, Via Accademia delle Scienze. L’Associazione Nazionale promuove la diffusione della lingua italiana in ogni parte de mondo.” There is no handwriting on the back.
