Group of people, one with a banjo, outside a tent, Australia, ca. 1900

from National Library of Australia

Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
This image is reversed compared to the Trove version. The Trove one is probably correct as it shows the banjo player in the usual right hand playing stance. This would make the tin whistle player correctly using the dominant right hand on the lower part of the instrument; unless of course both players are using left handed style like Jimi Hendrix. The other clue is the shirt and waist coat buttons - men have buttons on the right as in the Trove version. Note also the senior man next to the whistle player wearing a king plate which is unfortunately illegible. See: Introduction to King Plates: A History of Aboriginal Gorgets - www.nma.gov.au/explore/features/aboriginal-breastplates/i... There is a second man holding a tin whistle at waist height to the right of the man wearing the king plate, and the man in the striped shirt appears to be holding a set of bones ready for playing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bones_(instrument) Also King Merriman - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbarra "Your dominant hand should be at the bottom to keep the whistle steady while the other hand should stay on top." : www.celticmusicinstruments.com/how-to-play-the-tin-whistle/ Here’s Why Men’s and Women’s Clothes Button on Opposite Sides www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/heres-why-mens-and-wome...
