Description
"CAMEROUN - Mosque Bamoun". A village mosque is depicted from the front, being a low peak-roofed building. The upper portion of the building is decorated with a crescent, Arabic writing, and a patterned border around the doorway. A man dressed in white robe and white cowl sits by the doorway.
The back of the card has no handwriting, and is stamped and postmarked. Printed in the correspondence section is "Votre abonnement au Journal des Missions est venu a expiration il y a un mois. Supposant un simple retard dans l'envoi de votre reglement nous avons cru devoir vous en continuer le service. Nous vous serions reconnaissant d'effectuer ce reglement sans retard a notre cheque postal (Paris 52-89) pour eviter un recouvrement par poste dont nous serions obliges de vou compter les frais. Avec nos remerciements et l'expression de nos sentiments devoues. L'Administration du Journal des Missions." "Societe des Missions Evangeliques, 102 Bld. Arago (Paris) Braun & Cie, Imp.
