Toy Soldiers in Art No. 13

This photo was sent to me by a colleague which he found on the Internet somewhere, the small boy is looking at homecast semi-flat figures whilst wearing what seems to be a British WW2 forage cap which would probably date it to the 1930s or 40s ? . Not sure of the significance of the newspaper/ magazine in the upper corner. PS still no Internet as such, the issue being with BT not the provider (so we are doomed) Hopefully things will progress this week , fingers crossed

  1. Interesting photo Tony! It does seem to be staged with some purpose in mind. A mystery perhaps, but pictures of toy soldiers are always appreciated! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your Internet!
