bit wierd tho

any further info on them ?

take it its colonialism type thing

 

[marin man]

They were published by a greek in 1917 and drawn in 1916 by a native egyptian who wanted to show the colonialists in a humorous light,they seem to do what he intended in a subtle way...I just think that he has stereotyped his own people,anyway they are worth about 200/300 as a complete set

I find them amusing as they remind me of gollywogs
