Simon Schama
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"The historian Simon Schama, in his history of the French Revolution Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution states that several of the illustrations of the French Revolutionary calendar are by "Salvatore Tresca (after Louis Laffitte)". This would make them the first pin-up girls of the modern world. Or at least calendar girl."[1]--Sholem Stein |
