I'd be happy for one done in Black and White. Wasn't that how everything looked until about 1900 anyway? That's how it looks in all the photographs I've seen...
"But what about Sepia?" you say. "Surely there was Brown in the world too?" Fool! Sepia photographs were nothing but an elaborate hoax foisted on a dull Gray world hungry for any sign of Color. What you now see as "sepia photographs" are the remnants of an attempt by crafty fishmongers to artificially inflate the cuttlefish market. Look it up!
