Great Masters of War



I thought that the front page of yesterday’s [correction: last Friday’s] The Independent was particularly striking, showing the overwhelming international support for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon (in case you can’t tell, the only flags on the right are Israel, the US, and the UK), and I didn’t even notice the banner advertising their series of glossy posters of the great masters.

Until, that is, when I saw today’s front page with its somewhat jarring juxtaposition of an image of the war and the words “FREE GLOSSY POSTER.”
