notes: "Wordless 3-panel proof (wordless apart from the name on the lost tag, which is the one thing the
  reader must read). 1: Kerrs Pink looks for its label, which lies flat on the floor (foreshortened, with a
  contact shadow); Mandel stands shy beside it. 2: Mandel hangs it back on the nail while Kerrs Pink watches.
  3 (closer): the label hangs in the same place, Mandel has gone, and Kerrs Pink looks down at its label with
  a small smile. Kerrs Pink is clipped behind the crate's top lip; only its hands hold the lip. Panels 1 and 2
  at one scale; panel 3 is a closer shot (1.5 times) so Kerrs Pink's smile is the largest thing in it, and
  Mandel already gone from the scene. The tag carries Kerrs Pink's name, set in the vendored typeface. The
  crate is slatted, on corner posts, with the nail on the post. Crate and label at true scale to the tubers
  (estimated sizes)."
