Horizon Autumn 1965 Vol VII #4 - The House of Lords Spanish Inquisition Byron

"In the current enthusiasm for beautifying the face of America, billboards, posters, and similar types of advertising have come in for some harsh words. With our cover illustration (and on pages 97 -- 104) we recall that belle époque when, among other colorful developments, the poster flowered into a fresh art form that brightened city life everywhere in the Western world, particularly Paris. There, it was said, the lithographs of Toulouse-Lautrec "took possession of the street." Our cover detail is from the first and best known of these lithographs (left), printed in 1891, advertising the performances of La Goulue, the celebrated entertainer, at the Moulin Rouge." Published by American Heritage Publishing. 120 pages. Mainly black and white photos, some color. Would look very elegant on a coffee table! And you can't help but flip through the pages to admire the pages rife with art and history. Aging spots on the cover and does show its age, but no tears or rips. #horizon #houseoflords #spanishinquistion #history
