In a wide bay with mountainous shorelines, a man stands on the edge of a small boat ready to throw a spear into the water. Another man sits behind him paddling the boat. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "Missions Maristes D'Oceanie - 8. B - Peche a la sagaie en Nelle Caledonie." ("Marist Missions Of Oceania - 8. B - Fishing with an assegai in New Caledonia.") The back also contains information from the publisher: "Editions Procure, 123, Chemin de Choulans, Lyon." The Marists were a Catholic missions agency.
