...technique Bohrod used in a recent self-portrait (see cut), which he painted for Detroit Collector Lawrence A. Fleischman (TIME, Sept. 10, 1956).

Shaken but only slightly scratched, Louis Napoleon and Eugénie stepped from the remains of their carriage into a scene of carnage. One doctor alone reported 156 innocent casualties, including eight dead and three blinded...
