"Algerie et Kabylie - Kabylie - C'est jour de conge a l'ouvroir, quel plaisir de pouvoir jouir de sa liberte." (A day of leaving the sewing room what pleasure to be able to play at liberty.") Two missionary sisters pose with three indigenous women and eight indigenous girls beneath a large tree. Standing in the branches of the tree are eight more indigenous children wearing identical striped robes. The back of the postcard is blank and contains printed information about the publisher: "Soeurs Missionnaires de N.-D. d' Afrique, St-Charles - Edition G.-L. ARLAUD - LYON, Repr. interdite." The Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa were a Catholic missionary order.
