dressing

wow! royal treatment! :D

this is very sad, the elephant is skinny, distressed and obviously underfeed.

The elephant is holding up its foot to have its shoe fitted. If it were distressed I doubt if the man would be too keen on having its foot resting in his knee. It is probably one of Bostock's famous elephants which all had long happy lives, and were very well fed.

Thw humans are sqauting uncomfortably, arduous labor to make an animals feet comfortsale. Wonder if they had decent wages and accomodations. Wonder if the humans were warm in winter and cool in summer tending to the animals.

The Japanese occupied Nauru for three years (26th August 1942 - 13 September 1945). Nauru is a Pacific Island which was under Australian administration. The population of Nauru was decimated by several diseases against which they had no immune defences. The Island was mined for phosphate and was a valuable source of income for Australia. Nauru is still in the process of recovering from the decimation of the Island by mining from Colonial powers as well as by the Japanese Occupied Force. (source Wikipedia)

It's photos like this that prove why I love the LOC photo stream! Type George Kimmel in the NY Times archive and you get lots of hits! Apparently, he was a petty criminal who was hit on the head & lost his memory. After regaining it, his family refused to recognize him. query.nytimes.com/search/query?frow=0&n=10&srcht=...

What is the circle on the photo?

Probably where the impact occurred.

And then there was a whole trial about whether he was the real Kimmel or not. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B00E0DF1F31E233A...
