I did this one on April 2. I remember finishing it at the end of the day, I was tired, and the piece got a little chaotic. Note to self: stop sooner!This image and the next are poor quality. They collages got out of order and Mark somehow skipped photographing these two. So I took the image on a regular digital camera. I'll ask him to re-shoot!
On page 122, one military leader is speaking to the adjutant Bolkonsky. They are discussing military strategy, looking at a map. They are getting ready to engage in battle against Napoleon's army. It struck me that the Russians are discussing their battle plans against the French while speaking French!
