Lichine & Co. have so far recruited Ernst, Rene Magritte and Edouard Pignon for their stable of pilot kamagraphers, plan to put their output on sale in the U.S. in the autumn, priced...
...least in Europe. Beginning next month, a favored few will be able to flash what promises to be the most patrician card of them all: a plastic ducat bearing the famed five-arrow emblem of the House of Rothschild and the blue-and-yellow racing colors of Guy Edouard Alphonse Paul de Rothschild, 57, head of the Paris branch of the family and of the grande dame of French banks, Rothschild...
