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!
Sam
