Description This is an image I made as a cover for my daughter's graduation essay; an analysis about how the Great War influenced poets and poetry in those troubled times. I have taken some old (well, almost rusted) various gear I have in my cellar and put together. Quite amusing indeed!

Ohh I read something below, but it's maybe historically not entirely correct, the atmosphere and what it exudes certainly is!
Did your daughter graduate on her essay?

Congratulations then to your daughter! I have this idea that if she is like her father she will have a great time at the university

   I think she's better, as she brings her mother's tough genes too. She only needs to gain a little more faith in herself, but I think that'll come out!
Thank you so much!!

A yes, faith in oneself must grow, we cannot expect it to just arrive at us out of the blue

The gas-mask is far too modern for the Great War, but other then that this is fantastic!

Thank you.
   Yes, I know, the mask is about late 50's (more or less) but...I had to improvise.

Welcome!
Yeah, I've been there. I had to use a 1937 Spanish Degea mask as I stand-in for a Lederschutzmaske.

Magistrale nella (apparente) semplicità di realizzazione e profondamente suggestivo per il pensiero. Un gran bel lavoro!

Grazie mille. Troppo gentile.
Io ci ho messo solo la bassa manovalanza    e in effetti è stato semplice da realizzare.
Per l'idea, il display ed il pensiero, tutto il merito va alla figlia.
Le comunicherò il tuo commento, cosa che le farà senz'altro piacere!
