India~Jaipur~and the Geelong footy club.
A very strange mixture indeed, but linked in a very odd way. In 1928, Robson Lowe gave a Jaipur cover to William Hinde the great India collector. He suggested the seal on the back was a rare stamp of the "Rajah of Bhong" ( from an early twentieth century play) The very first Brownlow medal in Australian football was won by Edward "Carji" Greeves of the Geelong football club. Greeves was nicknamed "Carji" after Carjillo, the Rajah of Bhong, a character in a popular play. He played 124 games for Geelong from 1923 and in 1928 coached the University of Southern California American football team. The Jaipur cover of Robson Lowe with the quip from John Steel Biggins http://cjoint.com/data/jbmmUkE0Gx.htm acknowledgement of cover image: "Lady Philately's Cover" by Robson Lowe (some of his covers in his collection) |

BTW, just for the record, It should be "Lady Philately's Lover" not cover. (A Freudian slip) Robson Lowe sounds like he was lots of fun. "Asia-translation" wrote in message ...
