No not a photo of the editor ! (my hair was NEVER that curly), I found this on the Interweb over Christmas , it's a postcard and I think the stamp is a French one . The figures I think are flats or semi- flats, the cavalry on the left may be round 54mm ? and the others 40mm ?, there is a military band on the right under the tree . Dated circa 1900 + perhaps ?., click on photo to enlarge.
Another wonderful find Tony! A beautiful picture with real candlelight! He seems to be thinking: "What do you mean I can't play with the soldiers? That's what toy soldiers are for!!"
ReplyDeleteYes I didn't notice the candles , find these old postcards very interesting.
DeleteA charming picture and a very lucky little boy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wonder who he was ?
DeleteWonder if the horn is part of the kit or an addition...and whether, like the toy soldiers, it's more for show than play?
ReplyDeleteThink the whole thing is a set up , I do hope the young man was allowed to play with the toy soldiers.
