Description
A white-bearded Catholic missionary father is shown sitting outside of a large brick building, instructing children in the catechism. An easel nearby holds a placard on it, a small child behind it with a stick in hand. Two groups of children are seated on the ground, looking on.
The back of the postcard has no handwriting on it. Printed in the correspondence section is "Mission des RR. PP. Jesuites au Kwango. Kwango-Missie der EE PP Jezuiten in Kongo." "Lecon de catechisme. Catechismusles."
