Missionary priests in a canoe, Madagascar, ca.1900-1930

Four missionary fathers in a small canoe-like boat turn for a photograph as they set out across a wide, marshy body of water. Another boat, empty and longer, floats beside them. On the opposite shore in the distance a large building is visible among the trees. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title "25. - MADAGASCAR. - Mgr de Saune (a l'avant de la barque) allant visiter un village" ("Mgr de Saune, in the front of the boat, goes to visit a village"). The back also contains printed information about the mission agency: "Pour < < l'OEuvre des Pretres Malgaches> > - 79, Avenue de Breteuil, Paris XVe. Ch. post. 567-39 Paris"
