I see Teddy Roosevelt in a picture. Is it also Teddy R riding a zebra?

Hi Lancaster
You’re unbeatable to dig out vintage pictures.

I see You have hit the gold mine, Delcampe postcards website, that is the ebay for postcards, stamps, coins.
Funny thing are mentions added to the description of postcards such as “seins nus” which means bare breast.:)

I have also roamed this website. I am more at ease among the French nouns.

I also recommend You

idpao

=Indochine&display_mode=list]culture.fr
for Indo China……………..not very practical (Spanish used on a french culture ministry website?

France Archives





for navigating among names that most frenchmen have forgotten.


Asia

Indochine : Laos+ Cambodia+ Vietnam. Burma and Malaysia were British colonies. Thailand remained independent.

Cochinchine : South Vietnam

Tonkin : North Vietnam

Annam : center of the Vietnam and mountains of Laos
Siam : Thailand



Africa



After WWI France got Cameroon and Togo, GB got Tanzania , all German colonies.

Afrique subsaharienne : African countries South of Sahara desert. South of Algeria, Marocco Tunisia, and English Lybia and Italian Egypt.

AOF : Afrique Orientale Française : East French Africa =
Mauritania, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ivory coast, Benin, Togo, Mali, Niger, enclaves in Nigeria and Guinea-Conakry (must not be confused with Equatorial Guinea (Spain) and Bissao Guinea (Portugal).

AEF : Afrique Equatoriale Française, French Equatorial Africa : French Congo, CAR, Tchad……and Cameroon.

Soudan français : French Suddan, Mali

Oubangui-Chari : CAR
Cote d’or : Ghana

For the rest, names are similar with English’s.

Animals

Same names : Lion leopard crocodile rhinoceros elephant giraffe eland bongo
Hippopotame, Buffle, Gaur (for Sladang or Seladang), babouin, antelope, gorille, chimpanze, caiman : you can guess
Bushbuck = guib harnache
Mandril = baboon
Cob Defassa : waterbuck
Bubale = Hartebeest
Roan = hippotrague,

A link to an English-French glossary English French mini Glossary

A SERIOUS PITFALL when roaming the internet with French words:

Chasse : means hunt, but also any quest, and more often than wished, FIGHTER AIRCRAFT.

Chasseur
1) Hunter
2) Fighter airplane
3) Special force : mobile autonomous shock troops units for scouting, infiltration, skirmish and violent assault.

Good luck my friend.

John

I doubt forumites know what are black panthers.



In west Africa, the hunting camps provide more than hunt and lip service.
At night, some bipedes have the habit to knock at your door,whispering 'c'est l'amour qui passe", love is coming.
Some, black panthers, are meaner. Should your door not be locked, they enter your room and jump in your bed. If they close their eyes and hide their teeth, as they are nude no way to see them in pitch black. You are OWNED.

That's how I contracted AIDS.....twice. Not trite???

Don't believe everything larcher tells you, especially the last sentence. He once sent his friends here photos of his family from West Africa. I have met Madame Larcher and it was not the same person!? Perhaps two wives?!


PS larcher, I removed one of your photos. Nothing wrong with it being a nude, but for other potential legal reasons.

I have visited the NT but with the wife. The only guy I knew there was John and I have a fond memory of our (short) meeting.
No matter, I'll come again as soon as I can have all my time to scour your exceptionnal continent-country, and again fond (or bitter ) memories.

John
I love more than life to heckle, and I sometimes need to be cool down.

You're not wrong.
I can joke with serious or sad matters. I am in the medical biz and I have seen appalling things and I am not especially moved.
But I am fond of kids and this dwarf looks like a wretched kid.
Definitively, what I can't stand at all are............... lion being gored or worse a lion killing lion cubs when taking control of a pride. That can ruin more than one of my days.
