Two Horses of the Mayan Apocalypse

Well the world didn't end.
This is an old postcard my brother gave me many years ago. No idea how old it is, or who the artist was, however I'm sure whoever engraved or etched it would be happy to know it is still enjoyed today.

Illustration by Charles Keeping. They made you want to read the book when you glanced through it at the library. One of many historical novels for young people by Henry Treece.

Dvorak wrote serenades, as did Haydn and Mozart. Interesting snobbery concerning composers making a living by writing what the public wanted, the implied suggestion being the general public have inferior taste. Notes from a record cover.

Looking for Turner, did they ever find her? Maybe she showed up while they were waiting for Picard.
