Where does the letter begin and shirt end?

Jesus, that's weird. Is it just a bizarre optical illusion, or is there some photoshoppery / AI generation weirdness going on here?

If you look at his middle figures they appear to be underneath the paper. It just isn't very big

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah! I can see it now. Upping the contrast a bit helps.

It's essentially a scroll he's unrolling, why I don't know all the WW1 military mail I can find is regular if not a bit small envelopes.

I think the envelope is in his left hand toward the bottom. Looks rolled up a bit. The letter looks like it either bends or is unrolling at his middle fingers.
