comments
This collage takes its title from part of
an envelope at the upper center with a
mailing label from the English magazine
Country Life, which Motherwell was
especially interested in at this time (see
the Comments for c188). It also contains part of a Gauloises cigarette package and a piece of a paper dress used
by Motherwell in other collages (see the
Comments for c211).
