A Catholic missionary father wearing a pith helmet stands by the roadside while a half-dozen men pull at an apparently-stuck automobile. Around them, bare, muddy earth can be seen. The back of the postcard has no handwriting on it. Printed at the bottom of the correspondence section is "Mission des RR. PP. Jesuites - Congo Belge." "Sie 2. No 20. - Tire D'Embarras!"
