Sorry for the just-sent captionless picture. I accidentally pushed the
"send" button, before I'd properly thanked Randa Marhenk for finding (after
an heroic search!) the print I'd mentioned earlier, of Desiree Charnay on
the back of an Indian porter. I'd forgotten to notice that the poor
dripping guy underneath was even performing this chore in the pouring
tropical rain! Also, it seems that the chair on which Charnay is seated
was built just for the purpose of carting people in this manner - a kind of
tumpline rick-shaw. Apparently it was the occupation of this particular
porter.
Thanks again Randa!
