In Handustan, Illustrated

Lord Rajher Manorbourne, explorer,
wars on foreign shores. (The horror!)
Weeks he wends au caravan
to, lately, land in Handustan. 

Lord Rajher and Russell



















Says Rajher, "More's the merrier!"
So joining him's his terrier,
dubb'd Russell: one ear black, one tan.
Best friend of man...in Handustan.

Who likewise lurks at Rajher's side...?
Fist-Hugh, tann'd Handustani guide,
a whiz in Bible and Quran.
He'll quote you verse...in Handustan.

Harry ("Krishna") Fist-Hugh

 


His valet, Freitag, jack of all,
displays his many-color'd shawl.
Although he'll tell you, "I'm yer man,"
he's Rajher's man...in Handustan.

Lord Rajher's man Freitag



















(More "In Handustan" to come, 
including additional images; 
a work in progress.)
