Description
"Catéchistes Missionnaires de Marie Immaculée. Kumbakonam (Hindoustan [Hindustan]) - Départ pour une tournée au loin." Nuns prepare to depart on a tour. One is inside a covered wagon and two stand outside the wagon. A man holds a basket on his head in front of the two standing. A woman reaches up to the nun in the wagon, giving her a package. Another man holds the oxen, so that the wagon will stay steady. The postcard also notes the publisher as, "Regnault, Photo - Orléans." There is a handwritten note on the back.
