Rhodesian Postcards: Cartoons by LU

Series of postcards by cartoonist "LU" from Rhodesia.


"I AM in reverse, Alice."


"This should be an interesting shot, George is going to stand perfectly still and stare him out."


"Get away, you're not having us for lunch, you horrible brute."


"Ah, mysterious Africa, the sound of thunder and it's not even the rainy season."


"The cubs and I have missed you, dear."


"Stop clowning around and throw him back, Fred."

Recompiled, by Eddy Norris, from scanned copies of the postcards made available to ORAFs by Dave Bowman. Thanks Dave.

I would appreciate any information on the cartoonist "LU" and can anyone provide a date that these cards became available.

The recompilation was done for no or intended financial gain but rather as a ORAFs initiative to record the memories of Rhodesia.

Thanks to:-
My son, Paul Norris, for the ISP sponsorship.
Paul Mroz for the image hosting sponsorship.
Robb Ellis for his assistance.

Rhodesian Photos: Selukwe Main Street

Nick Baalbergen Writes:-

I thought the attached photos may be of interest to you.

The original photo is a rather faded black & white shot which was included in an old album I obtained some time ago. The photo annotation in the album simply states 'Selukwe - Main Street'. Many of the photos in the album date from about 1912, so I have added 'circa 1912' as a best guess date.

I digitally restored the photo and experimented with the addition of colour - the second photo.





Thanks to Nick Baalbergen for sharing his memories with ORAFs
