Victorian Spooky Photo Challenge by @moon-simmers
I wasn’t tagged, but this challenge inspired me for one of my sporadic continuations of ‘Veronaville 1914′. Consequently tagging whoever feels inspired.
The first picture is actually inspired by an artwork by Jean-François Peiré (to whom picture credit obviously goes, I’ve linked it from this post). We’re entirely used to the narrative of all men perishing at war. But what if the western world were a matriarchy (like some parts of Veronaville) and a conflict had left a whole generation motherless?
The second doesn’t have a specific inspiration picture, it’s just one of those multiple exposure photos, on which the deceased of the war made a ghostly reappearance.
