Today's impulse charity shop purchase

A 1960s picnic hamper, plywood case covered with bright orange leatherette, for four people. Contains not one, but two thermos flasks (and proper made-in-Brentwood-Thermos-with-a-capital-T Thermos flasks at that), a sandwich box, four stacking cups (and a stacking sugar bowl), a sharp knife, four teaspoons, and two screwtop plastic bottles. All in good condition - some slight knife scratches on one of the plates, but otherwise fine. £30, and well worth it.

What better way to pay tribute to Henri Cartier-Bresson (In pictures, G2, August 5), who took pains to ensure the faithful reproduction of his work, than with a shoddy enlargement full of digital artifacts?
