An elderly partisan with round spectacles wraps field-telephone wire around a headless mannequin inside a shell-damaged 1940s boutique.

Inside a shell-damaged 1940s boutique, an elderly partisan quartermaster strings field-telephone copper wire around the neck of a headless velvet dress form. Captured on a Contax II with a Leitz Summar 50mm f/2 lens and Agfa Isopan Ultra, the gritty combat snapshot exhibits harsh contrast, coarse grain, cross-processed acid greens and yellows, and red halation bleeding around the blown-out storefront window.
