Printed text on verso reads: "Haute-Volta / En pays Lobi / GAOUA / A la cuisine de chaque femme correspond une terrasse / Le rôle des terrasses est important dans la vie quotidienne: non seulement elles sont le lieu de séchage des herbes à sauces ds graines mais aussi celui des veillées et des nuits chaudes."
Translated postcard caption reads: "Upper Volta / In Lobi / GAOUA / Every woman's kitchen has a corresponding terrace / The role of the terraces is important in daily life: not only are they the place for drying herbs and seeds but also for spending warm nights."
