Another unpredictable selection, as I practice with the camera.
The Perry Brothers 'Mounted Dervish Imam,' but painted up as an Afghan leader figure for Col.Winy's Pathan army.
A pair of French officers. On the left, with eyeballs that seem to suggest extreme surprise, a Foundry French Zouave painted as... a French Zouave. On the right, a Foundry Crimean War British naval officer, painted as a French naval officer.
A mounted Prussian staff officer, Foundry again, painted as someone from one of the minor German states. The plan was to compare this with exactly the same figure painted as Emilio Kosterlitsky, from the Mexican Revolution, in full dress - but I apear to have given that figure away for Xmas without photographing it.
