Two Catholic missionary sisters are shown standing outside of a thatch-roofed building. Numerous people afflicted with goiters are sitting at their feet, near a few bowls and basins. The back of the postcard is closely covered with handwriting and is addressed and postmarked. Printed at the bottom of the correspondence section is "Mission des Filles de la Charite a Coquilhautville" "Missie van de Dochters der Liefde te Coquilhatville." "Hopital indigene - Les goitreaux." "Inlandisch hospitaal - De kropzieken."
