Inscriptions recto-(in ink) "Documentary Photogram / Breakfast and Lunch"
(signed) "Heinecken 1-71"
verso-(in ink) "Three fragmented females, anonymous, disjointed,
swallowed in a void of blackness an unappetitzing [sic] breakfast or
lunch, enhanced only by one earlobe, 2 breasts, & luminous lighting.
Lacks visual unity & meaningful statement. Caption leaves the meaning
utterly open-ended. An un nutricious meal! James Durrell Jr."
