An indigenous man standing on the rocky shore of a river leans over the surface of the water with a bow and arrow ready to strike a fish. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "Missions Maristes d'Oceanie. - 8 - Peche a l'arc aux Iles Salomon." ("Marist Missions of Oceania. - 8 - Fishing with a bow in the Solomon Islands.") The Marists were a Catholic missionary order. The back also contains information from the publisher: "Editions Procure, 123, Chemin de Choulans, Lyon."
