Summer 1968.
One of my favourite events is the annual library book sale. You have to go pretty early and be defensive...book worms after a deal are really pushy people..but you can find lots of treasures; here's one of the ones I found last year. A Horizon Magazine of the Arts - Summer 1968 - Volume X, Number 3 - Hardcover - I actually got a stack of them and they are great to read and display as art. Each magazine has articles under the following types of headings: The environment, archaeology, Ideas, Art, Letters, History, Biography and Entertainments. The cover model for this edition is The Duchess of Alba - society's leading lady in 18th century Madrid painted by Francisco Goya, her lover of seven years. Goya's paintings after this were never so serene...you might remember some of his later work including Satan Devouring His Son and Courtyard with Lunatics.
