!00 year old orange and tankard

!00 year old orange and tankard

Artefacts and desktop photography

March 25, 2020

This photograph shows a 100-year-old orange which my great grandfather received as a Christmas present in his youth. So rare at the time and according to family folk law, he sat it on a shelf never to be touched. After many years it took on the patterner of pewter and resembled the finish of my grandfather's tankard. I liked the concept that organic material can look the same as that which is human-made. I decided to photograph the two together. It just seemed right with a great story attached. I'm not sure if this will be in my WIP as it does not fit in with my other images.
