Description
"Catéchistes Missionnaires de Marie-Immaculée - Kumbakonam. Hindoustan [Hindustan] - Près d'un Village." Two missionaries cross a log, serving as a bridge, on their way to a nearby village. Two men stand in the river, helping the missionaries across by holding a pole for them to lean on. A woman stands on one bank carring a pot on her hip and a basket on her head. There is a handwritten note on the back of the postcard.
