“Postulat de Sœurs Missionnaires de N.-D. d’Afrique, Sœurs Blanches, Hérent-lez-Louvain, Maison des missionaires de N.D. d’Afrique Sœurs Blanches à Kasongo (Haut Congo). Postulaat der Zusters Missionarissen van O. L., van Afrika . Witte Zusters, Herent-bij-Leuven. Woonhuis der Witte Zusters te Kasongo (Opper Congo).” The residence of the missionary sisters at Kasongo is surrounded by native flowers, plants and small trees. A low brick wall that surrounds the moderate size building and the overhang of the thatched roof creates a porch. An animal, possibly a llama, stands between two women near the house. The caption is printed on the back of the postcard. There is no handwriting on the back.
