"Madagascar - Les Soeurs et leurs petites" ("Sisters and their little ones.") Over fifty Madagascan girls pose in front of a wooden school house with large steps leading to the porch and entrance. Some stand on the porch, others stand or sit on the ground. At least three missionary sisters are visible posing with the children. Postcard issued by the "Missions des Lazaristes."
