Tall-tale Postcard: Salted
Photomontage of a hunter pouring salt on the tail of a giant rabbit. The hunter is holding a rifle and wearing leather boots and gloves. The surrounding winter landscape is comprised of a snowy forest with a frozen river in the middle. The words: "'Salted' So easy. Put salt on their tails," appear at the bottom. An arrow has been drawn pointing to the rabbit and the words: "This a bear?" are inscribed in large text to the left of the smaller text. |
