Шутливые открытки военных начала 20 века

Неожиданный вывод напрашивается, если рассматривать эти старые, но очень выразительные фото. Сейчас уже на земле столько оружия накопилось, что каждый даже гражданский человек может сфотографироваться на настоящей военной технике и не по одному разу. А сто лет назад даже для военных не хватало натурных съемок, приходилось позировать вот так:

1910-1912. “Flight from the sand desert [i.e., military camp] Neuhammer.” Nuehammer Military Camp, Germany. Unidentified photographer.
