A Catholic missionary father is seated before a set of placards outdoors, rows of young children seated on benches before him. Behind the placards is a brick building with a corrugated roof. The back of the postcard has no handwriting. Printed in the margin of the correspondence section is "Classe en plein air." "Mission des T. R. Peres Recollets." "Openluchtklas. Missie der Z. E. Paters Recolletten." "Oeuvre Nationale des Ecoles Congolaises." "Nationale Vereeniging tot Bevordering van het Onderwijs in Kongo, 23 Rue Jean Breydel, Gand. - Jan Breydel Straat, 23, Gent."
