… or the day the poor creature took revenge (but had to die itself nevertheless). This spoken-word album by Barnaby Conrad (1922–2013), himself an animal abuser, is about the death of Manolete, a Spanish bullfighter who was gored in a fight in Linares, Andalusia, in 1947. It was first released in 1957.
For the album cover of this 1971 reissue, designer Rhea Atkins paired Morris F. Benton’s Othello (1934) with a decorated nephew, Dave Davison’s Fandango Ornamental. The latter is used with several swash alternates and a lateral shade. The painting is by Carlos Ruano Llopis.
