Back in the nineties and for almost two years, the Mkhaya Nature Preserve, near Mbabane, capital of the Kingdom of Swaziland was my favorite weekend destination. I kept the postcard as a reminder of the Park's great beauty. It is a small preserve founded and run by the Reilly family and by Swazis and it has helped to save white and black rhinos from extinction. The young boy, I believe, is Ted Reilly. The caption reads "Forgot the gun". In reality white rhinos are quite peaceful, not to say the same for black rhinos.

Eve muses: "I couldn't get back home; it was too far and turning cold; but I found some tigers and nestled in among them and was most adorably comfortable, and their breath was sweet and pleasant, because they live on strawberries. I had never seen a tiger before, but I knew them in a minute by the stripes. If I could have one of those skins, it would make a lovely gown."
