Antoine-Jean-Baptiste Thomas, Louis XVIII Receiving the Duc d’Angoulême on His Return from the Spanish Campaign, December 2, 1823. In this oil-on-canvas history painting King Louis XVIII, seated and visibly frail, warmly greets his nephew Louis Antoine, the victorious Duc d’Angoulême, just returned from commanding the French intervention in Spain. The duke stands proudly before him, dressed in full military uniform. Around them are key members of the Bourbon family: behind the duke is Marie-Thérèse Charlotte (“Madame Royale”), his wife, gazing up at him with admiration; to the left of the king stands Charles, Count of Artois (future Charles X), holding the young Duke of Bordeaux in his arms; nearby is the Duchess of Berry with her daughter. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Louis_XVIII_re%C3%A7oit_le_duc_d%27Angoul%C3%AAme_au_retour_de_la_guerre_d%27Espagne,_2_d%C3%A9cembre_1823.jpg

Strong Poison book cover. The image shows the vintage book cover of Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers. It has a mustard-yellow background with large black serif text. The title “Strong Poison” dominates the center, with the oversized letter S stretching above the rest of the word. Above the title, in smaller text, is the author’s name and the price “7/6 net.” Below the title, it reads: “A New ‘Lord Peter’ Detective Novel.” At the bottom, the author’s name appears again in bold, capitalized letters. Two publisher emblems—a stylized “VG” monogram—appear in the top-right and bottom-left corners, alongside the name Gollancz, the publisher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_Poison#/media/File:Strong_poison.JPG
