Image created with gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: Using the provided reference image of the wooden shipping crate, preserve exactly the crate’s construction (horizontal dark reddish-brown slats, weathered paint, iron hardware, three-panel face layout), but replace the original address text with ‘BUSINESS’ in the same hand-painted black stencil style with thick irregular brushstrokes. Place the crate on a worn wooden desk in a spare 1950s office setting with a black rotary telephone, metal adding machine, string-bound invoices, and open leather ledger surrounding it, soft natural window light raking across the scene, shallow depth of field, photorealistic early spring atmosphere.
