Description

V-mail. AKA Victory Mail, was used by the United States during the Second World War to reduce the cost of transferring an original letter through the military postal system. A V mail letter would be censored then copied to film and printed back to paper upon arrival at its destination. It was transported as a thumbnail sized image in negative microfilm and also deterred espionage communications by foiling the use of invisible ink, microdots and microprinting.. None of which would be reproduced in a photocopy. I used 'autochrome' for this, in order to achieve a period vintage color image. WW 2 Weekend Reading Pennsylvania USA.
