\"\"<\/a>I recently bought an original artwork by L Houghton for a Mills and Book <\/a><\/span>cover in their ‘Doctors’ series. Interestingly it’s not quite the same as the book cover in that the nurse is the same one but the original doctor is removed and replaced by another on the other side but they don’t seem to have taken into account the green curtains! <\/span><\/p>\n

L Houghton is a bit of a mystery. Steve Holland on his Bear Alley <\/a><\/span>site thinks he could be Laurence John C Houghton so I’ve emailed a family member who now lives in Australia but was born just down the road from where I am now. I’ll let you know if I have a reply.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only PAN cover I can find that he painted is the “The Drowning Pool’ <\/a><\/span>by John Ross Macdonald from 1955.<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone has any more information on this artist we’d love to hear about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I also got an email from Anna who runs the website that ‘m sure all<\/span> Angelique<\/a><\/span> fans have visited. She used the photo of my Angelique film poster on her site but drew my attention to the same poster but looking slightly different. Spot the change HERE<\/a><\/span> I thought it must be for a country where censorship was heavier than the UK back in the 60’s and on checking I found it was being sold by Ashgrove Auctioneers in Portarlington, County Laois which does explain the cover up. It was only years later I found that the film ‘La Ronde’ was not really 45 minutes long, that was just how much was left by the censors when I saw it in Dublin in 1966!<\/span><\/p>\n

STOP PRESS Had a reply from Australia regarding L Houghton but unfortunately Kay doesn’t know what her very distant relative did for a living.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
