Nepal: The Living Goddess Kumari

From my wide-eyed and well-travelled pal Ewen. We travelled together to Antarctica in December 2010. Ewen is a gifted photographer and conducts his own tours.

Bilamuk Gapal, Larrakia man, Palmerston NT 1891

Some years back, a cache of old photographic plates was discovered near Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory. The haul revealed (among other things) a wealth of brilliant portraits of Aboriginal people in their traditional attire and adornment. This card was produced by the South Australian Museum to coincide with an exhibition and is my clear favourite from the collection. Another reason to love museum issue postcards.

Tonga: HM King Siaosi Tupou V

Tonga: Fondly known as King George, His Majesty passed away in March this year. An eccentric chap with a love of things British, King George was known to get about town in a London cab. From my friend Kris.
