“Chine. Irrigation de la rizière.” A waterwheel stands above a canal near a rice paddy field. The wheel, operated by two men, has woven blades or spokes with bamboo pipes attached that deliver the water to the field. The caption and following information are printed on the back of the postcard: “Procure des Missions des Pères Jesuites. ‘Chine – Madagascar’. 73, Rue des Stations, Lille – C.C.P. 134. Hélio-Lorraine – Nancy.” There is no handwriting on the back.
