Title - Potato Printing
There is a paint box, brush, potato, nail and knife laid out on the table. A man sits down at the table and takes the potato, cuts it in half with the knife, and peals away some of the skin. He uses the nail to make grooves in the potato. He then lays out a piece of paper then paints the pattern on the potato and imprints the image on the paper in consecutive lines and fills the sheet of paper. He washes his brush, and although it is not shown, we realise that he has painted the potato different colours and gone over the picture again to add colour. With a clean piece of paper on the table, the man takes another potato and on the paper are consecutive images of 835.
Title - The End.
