A Gentleman In Kharki & Other Scraps.

[leigh kitchen]

I thought I'd start a thread off on these - scraps, beloved of the Victorians & Edwardians.
This one is actually of cellulose or similar rather than card, in slight relief, & is of Kipling's Gentleman in Kharki as portrayed by Caton Woodville. The bayonet blade is missing, but apart from that he's not doing too badly despite the bandage & bloodstains.

He's about 5" tall.

And a couple more in card, a bit the worse for wear, a Light Horseman or Irregular & a Boer, they're about 5" tall.
