Missionary sister poses with baby and girl, Congo, ca.1920-1940

“Congo ̶ On a peur de l’appareil.” A missionary sister holds a shy baby in her arms and the hand of a little girl as they pose for a photo. The baby appears to be wearing a woolen cap. The following information is printed on the back of the card: “Les Missions des Lazaristes et des Filles de la Charité”. Organ mensuel. de l’Œuvre du Bienheureux Jean-Gabriel Perboyre. En Faveur des Missions les Plus Nécessiteuses . Un an: France, 10 Fr. ̶ Etranger 15 Fr. Adresser les offrandes à M. le Directeur de l’Œuvre du BX Perboyre. 95 rue de Sèvres – Paris (6) ̶ Chèque Post.
