The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "BASUTOS. - La faucille sur l'epaule, le chapelet en sautoir, elles vont a la moisson...La jeune Eglise connait elle aussi les belles moissons d'or." ("BASUTOS. - The sickle on the shoulder, the chain in the saltire, they go to the harvest... the young Church knows it also the beautiful gold harvests") The postcard is issued by the "Missions des Oblats de Marie Immaculee" and published by "Editions Apostoliques, 36, Rue de Trion, Lyon."
