I Need Something Like a 19th-century British Officer

OK – maybe I don’t really need a 19th-century British officer (though it would be lovely to have a companion who knew how tea should properly be made). But I  do need something like a 19th-century British officer’s canvas tent.

Christopher Schwarz has an upcoming article on a campaign chest, and we thought it might be fun to shoot the opening picture with the piece staged inside of a white canvas tent (while in the background men in red coats shoot long rifles at disenfranchised native peoples…or not). Ya know – something like The Meaning of War scene in Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life.” (The end bit with the “tiger” straightening his whiskers cracks me up every time.)

But I’m sad to report that I’m fresh out of white canvas tents. If anyone in the Cincinnati metro area has one we could borrow for a day or two, do let me know.

Cheers,
