Original Note:
This is not a British Merchant, nor India. Taken in what is now Myanmar (Burma), this is François Rodier, a French colonial administrator. Upon remarking how impressed he was with the load-bearing strength of Burmese locals, his guide’s wife offered to carry him for a photo. https://medium.com/@johnkelly_17973/the-myth-of-the-british-colonial-master-and-his-infamous-piggy-back-ride-john-kelly-phd-4b6576adf60c https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2021/11/07/not-a-french-colonial-administrator-being-carried/
