Sepia Saturday

sepia 3 16

This stumped me at first, but the prompt offered some help: bald, round table, meeting. The prompt also said you could find Churchill, Truman and Stalin in the photo. Can you?

That search led me to an easier response. I offer the mural below. I found the photo in Flickr Commons from the San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive.

I asked online where the mural was and if it’s still there.

    It almost looks like a big screen TV

    Larger than life characters, depicted larger than life!

    From what I can tell the photo of the mural was taken in 1945 in Berlin, but I can’t work out whether it still exists. I suspect not, as outdoor murals never seem to have a very long shelf life, so to speak.

    Certainly the big three.

    Yes, my guess would be that it is long gone as well. I suspect it was washed off with the waters of the Cold War

    I guess that it’s no longer there. I like how Alan’s phrased it.

    I’m glad there is a real person sitting beside the mural just to give some perspective on its size.
