A mother is in the forest, wearing traditional clothing and a head dressing, carrying her baby on her back secured by a cloth. The back of the postcard is blank with a caption and printed information about the mission agency: "Mother and child in West Africa. - Baby is safe and comfortable and well out of the busy mother's way. Notice how strong and tall and well-built the woman is. Nowhere in the world has woman more freedom, or makes more energetic use of it, than in some parts of West Africa.- W.M.M.S. Postcards. Series O."
