A chief dressed in traditional clothing is standing outside with two children. He is holding a large stick in one hand and one of the children's hand in the other. The back of the postcard contains a handwritten note in French and also contains information about the mission agency and caption: "14 Ecole des Freres Maristes Stanleyville. Visite d'un chef a ses enfants. - School der Broeders Maristen (Stanleystad). Een opperhoofd bezokt zijn kinderen." ("Visit to a Chief's children")
