In a monastery in the mountains of northern Spain, 700 years after the Book of Revelations was written, a monk set down to illustrate a collection of writings he had compiled about this most vivid and apocalyptic of the New Testament books. Throughout the next few centuries his depictions of multi-headed beasts, decapitated sinners, and trumpet blowing angels, would be copied over and over again in various versions of the manuscript. John Williams, author of *The Illustrated Beatus*, introduces Beatus of Liébana and his Commentary on the Apocalypse.

Ce magnifique décor Art nouveau de la salle de restaurant de l’hôtel Langham, avait disparu, caché derrière des cloisons, lorsqu’en 1978, le nouveau propriétaire décide d’agrandir le restaurant et le redécouvre en voulant faire passer des gaines d’aération !... Ce pavillon tout en verrière, avait été construit en 1898 dans la cour de l’hôtel Langham, par l’architecte Emile Hurtre, et décoré par le peintre Jules Wielharski. Eddy Mitchell est un habitué de ce restaurant et Léo Malet avait sa place réservée, signalée par une plaque de cuivre. (carte postale offerte par le patron)
