Tall-tale Postcard: Boy Scouts
Photomontage of a group of five boy scouts around a cooking fire. The scouts watch as a giant potato, suspended over the fire, slowly roasts. They are wearing uniforms with knee high socks. They have erected a tent directly behind the fire. The words, "Boy Scouts," have been imprinted on the image as though they were written on the side of the tent. |
