FROM THE ARCHIVE March 2015.
This is an adaptation of an old photochrom postcard circa 1895 from Wikimedia showing the beach at Ostend, Belgium. I have used textures from 2 Lil’ Owls to age it further, along with a French document, also from 2 Lil’ Owls, to add ‘a little something extra’…

A clever use of this image on a hip flask, as both have great nostalgia value, so are complimentary. Metaxa Seven Star in mine I think, Sarah.
Best wishes, Pete. x
