"Crêche de la Sainte Enfance – Fo-Kien [Fujian]. Collection de L’Œuvre de la Sainte-Enfance. 44, Rue du Cherche-Midi – Paris (6e)." Several day beds full of infants are shown outside the mission child care center. Missionary sisters and adult helpers are seen nearby along with some older children. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: "L’Œuvre de la Sainte-Enfance baptise chaque année près de 500.000 petits infidèles. Elle en élève près de 700.000." There is no handwriting on the back.
