This is the story of Messalina third wife of Emperor Claudius and one of the most notorious women to have inhabited the Roman world According to the Roman historians Tacitus and Suetonius the Empress Messalina was a sexually insatiable schemer The tales they told about her including a twenty four hour sex competition with a prostitute have taken deep root in the Western imagination but Messalina s real story is much more complex In her reappraisal of one of the most slandered female figures of ancient history Honor Cargill Martin finds an intelligent passionate and ruthless woman who succeeded in asserting herself in the overwhelmingly male world of imperial Roman politics Rather than setting out to salvage Messalina s reputation she looks at her life in the context of her time Above all she seeks to reclaim the humanity of a life story previously circumscribed by currents of high politics and patriarchy

History of the Poster, co-written by Josef and Shizuko MEler-Brockmann, is a landmark account of one of the most prolific visual traditions of our culture. Originally published in 1971, this seminal study is clearly written and richly illustrated. Now reprinted by Phaidon Press, History of the Poster is an essential read for anyone intrigued by this most modern medium. The book presents an exhaustive collection of posters, ranging from the end of the nineteenth century until the early seventies, when the book was published for the first time. Conceived, written and designed by one of the best and most influential poster designers of the twentieth century, the book defines the nature of a poster and indicates the laws of designing it. MEler-Brockmann defines and describes four fundamental conceptions of the poster, approaching the function-type of each and presenting an array of methods used to capture the attention of the viewer. The author employs sure aesthetic judgement in his selection of images as he guides us through the formation and evolution of style, emphasis and connotation in poster design. This reprint has not tampered with the original edition`s design or layout and stays true to MEler-Brockmann`s original concept.
