Interior view of a church under construction, Congo, ca.1920-1940

A pith-helmeted Catholic missionary father in stands inside a brick church under construction, the roof beams partially erected overhead. Other men climb on scaffolding or stand posed for the picture. The back of the postcard has no handwriting. Printed in the margin of the correspondence section is "Te Rungu evenals in onze andere missieposten zijn de missionnarissen de architecten en de ondernemers bij het bouwen van de kerk."
