Description
Colorized photo from 1918 Oct 1
Original title: No caption
Location: Bordeaux, France
The first thing that caught my eye was Inspector Inspector Clouseau in the middle. He was the only french guy, only guy with a mustache, and its like he just slipped in there. The cups in there, none of them match, I couldn't find the patterns online, but a lot of that china used blends and fading, which I replicated. Though they were probably white and not that fancy.
I removed the phantom hand on the left, but I kept all the flies, as they were a part of the ambiance. The stuff in the bowl, I chose them to look like stewed tomatoes. Though they look like prunes. I don't think they are prunes, because that would be the meanest possible thing you could do to a soldier.
The bread is darker than the white bread we have here, I found a dark French bread, and matched it to that. I chose grape jelly for the filling. You can see a baton on the counter, that was used for close quarters killing.
Underneath, I think that is mashed potatoes in the tin. And on the shelf is either a loaf of bread, or a roast?
