A blackboard gives the departure times for reservists

A blackboard propped on a trestle by a stone pillar reads in chalk: "Réservistes", "Heure limite de départ", "journée du 24.9.38", "Direction Metz à 16h00" and a second line for Strasbourg at the same hour; a white cap passes out of focus in the foreground. The board appears to stand at a Paris station; on 24 September 1938 France called up several classes of reservists for the fortresses facing Germany.
