The cover for this late Surrealist publication with a pale skinned black clad model sporting a locket of Charles Baudelaire and a inverted crucifix prefigures the Goth look popularised by the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Bauhaus over a decade later and which can still be seen today in many a shopping mall in or around major urban areas.
Or in my collection for special occasions!
