A missionary father poses with a large group of over two hundred Malagasy men, women, and children. Many of the men are wearing light colored hats with dark bands. In the background the corner of a building is visible. The back of the postcard has a handwritten note in French and contains a printed title: "23. MADAGASCAR - Devant l'Eglise un Dimanche" ("In front of the Church one Sunday"). The back also contains printed information about the mission agency: "Pour < < l'OEuvre des Pretres Malgaches> > - 79, Avenue de Breteuil, Paris XVe. Ch. post. 567-39 Paris".
