Footnotes

A complete set of the Catalan artistic periodical Pèl & Ploma. Ramon Casas and Miquel Utrillo, leading lights of Barcelona's thriving fin-de-siecle art scene, had previously published the magazine Quatre Gats, but with Pèl & Ploma hoped to reach a wider audience outside Spain. Most of the covers were drawn by Casas in his distinctive "Art nouveau" style.
