This exhibition at La Bibliothèque Nationale (Richelieu site) sounds very exciting ! Photos throughout the ages which have caused legal proceedings, scandals, controversies like e.g. Benetton's kissing nun. Or pictures which have been manipulated to make history.

See for instance this picture from the 1930's showing Stalin in Moscow with Voroshilov, Molotov and Iejov. On the picture below from the 1940's Iejov has strangely disappeared.

There's nothing like a good scandal to get our juices flowing.

If photos are allowed, please take lots so we can see the exhibit too.

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
