Kuta, in 1975
Are we sure it was 1975?
I had a holiday in Kuta in 1975.......the beach didn't look that busy...:icon_e_biggrin:

Why would I doubt you or this picture?
I only question your presentation of badly focused pictures with nothing identifiable in them other than trees and bushes which are then credited with a 40 or 50 year old provenance.
This picture is obviously old and of some local Indo worthies.
Glad to see that the fear of my complaining is adding to your journalistic integrity though.

Well Markit has not challenged yet, so here is a conjecture.
King of Bali implies that his Kingdom was all of Bali. I doubt there was such a King in the 1850s - there were a number of Kingdoms and maybe this guy was a King of one of them. The Regencies now to some extent reflect the Kingdoms back then.
king of bali
I have given Rangi so much B.S. flak that I didn't want to be critical. As you note these various areas of Bali came under individual rulers or headmen, and there was not a titular head of all Bali. Also since these pictures (and they are interesting) come under a heading that would indicate they were all Balinese there are certainly exceptions. Only the last picture under the latest group appears Balinese to me, and then not entirely. The picture with the long staffs, shields and rifle look very much as if they are from Sumatra. They appear either Batak or Minang Kabau.
Rangi needs to be thanked for his contributions, but we have to be careful that people aren't mislead.
Thanks Ron,

In the group of three pictures, the first two pictures are from Bali. I don't know the first one. The 2nd one is that of a panearan (prince) on a horse (1910-20), and the third one is a portrait of Sasak chiefs, from Lombok, late 1800.
Pix 2 and 3 look remarkably like the pictures of the King of Karangasem that hang in Ujung Water Palace.
Picture 1 is of Tintin on his first visit to Bali exhibiting his slow potty training behavior, which I understand, has now come full circle. :black_eyed:

Dear Rin Tin Tin,
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but since your last visit Sukarno has passed away.

Witness the armchairs of the picture. They are made of injected moulding plastic which was only invented after WW2.... in the late 1940s....in the USA.
The barber's mouthscreen looks like it was put on yesterday. Otherwise, without the bare-breasted Bali beauty...the picture conjures nothing pertinent without comment...so may I offer the following..
Nice tits....my maid/villa boss has a similar visual expressive look but wears a uniform/underwear provided by my wife.......tomorrow, I'll ask LU if her mum/grandmother posed.
As I'm in my late 70's my male chauvenistic attitude is to simply say...ladies....thanks...for the mammaries.:icon_wink:

Markit 'liked' my post #379 and Rangi "disliked'. I dont know whether I should be flattered or take a trip to Nusakambangan.
Here's a link to a you-tube video of Bali in the 1940's...it lasts nearly 10 mins and I've studied for hours but still cannot find any injection mouldings or even aluminum folding chairs but I may have been distracted by the bamboo...I'll take another look...:distant:
