Goering launches all-out aerial attack on an unsuspecting buffet lunch, 1937.  Best regards, JR.

"Leave some for us ...!"

Hitler with Hermann and Emmy Goering examine the holiday snaps ... Best regards, JR.

But when the wind is blowing from behind ...

Mussolini and Hitler contemplate Canova's famous (and, in its time, famously risqué) semi-nude statue of Pauline Murat (born Bonaparte), Queen of Naples and sister of The Man Himself.  Pauline was a true sister; she advised her husband, Joachim Murat, to betray Napoleon in 1814, in the interests of saving their mutual position.  She also was a bit of a live wire, and must have been a bit of a handful even for a cavalry hero like Murat.  When this statue was first shown, a shocked court lady asked whether she had been at all uncomfortable posing for such a revealing portrait.  "Not at all," replied Pauline, "the studio was very well heated."  Yours from the Spanish Quarter, JR.
